"Do not be oppressed by the forces of ignorance and delusion! But rise up now with resolve and courage! Entranced by ignorance from beginingless time until now, you have had more than enough time to sleep. So do not slumber any longer, but strive after virtue with body, speech, and mind."

"The moments of our life are not expandable and the possible circumstances for death are beyond imagination."
~The Tibetan Book of the Dead "Are you oblivious to the sufferings of birth, old age, sickness, and death? There is no guarantee that you will make it or survive, even past this very day." ~The Tibetan Book of the Dead Job 2:10
"Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?" "I'm not saying that I'm giving up, I'm just trying not to think as much as I used to, 'cause never is a lonely little messed up word. Maybe I'll get it right someday. For the first time in a long time I can say that I want to try. I feel helpless for the most part, but I'm learning to open my eyes, and the sad truth of the matter is, I'll never get over it, but I'M GOING TO TRY!"
~Motion City Soundtrack Job 8: 8 - 10
"Just ask the previous generation. Pay attention to the experience of our ancestors. For we were but born yesterday and know nothing. Our days on earth are as fleeting as a shadow, but those who came before us will teach you. They will teach you the wisdom of old." "I am old when it is fashionable to be young. I cry when it is fashionable to laugh. I hated you when it would have taken less courage to love."
~Charles Bukowski "There is no life that is free of pain. It's the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth."
~Mr. Fred Rogers Job: 8: 19
