"We sat outside the studio at night, among a few candles, and closed our eyes for a minute. After that, we jammed straight from our hearts. We didn't play for ourselves, but for the ones no longer with us in flesh, but always with us in spirit. God bless. Until we meet again. Soul fly... fly free!"	Max Cavalera

". . . for until that God who rules all the region of the sky. . . has freed you from the fetters of your body, you cannot gain admission here. Men were created with the understanding that they were to look after that sphere called Earth, which you see in the middle of the temple. Minds have been given to them out of the eternal fires you call fixed stars and planets, those spherical solids which, quickened with divine minds, journey through their circuits and orbits with amazing speed...."	Marcus Tullius Cicero

A well-organized society should assure to such workers the efficient means of accomplishing their task, in a life freed from material care and freely consecrated to research."	Marie Curie
"The condition upon which God has given liberty to man is eternal vigilance."	John Philpot Curran
"Everyone gets their rough day. No one gets a free ride. Today so far, I had a good day. I got a dial tone."	Rodney Dangerfield
