musings of others

"Now will saying yes get you in trouble at times? Will saying yes lead you to doing some foolish things? Yes it will. But don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. Yes is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes."
[And that's The Word. --> Stephen Colbert]

"I didn't understand his music for a long time, until I began to yearn. Until I began to question the things that I was making and doing in my own life. It was about stories of lives that could be changed. Bruce doesn't just sing; he testifies. 'I'm in the middle of a long conversation with my audience,' he said. 'It'll be a lifelong journey for both of us by the time we're done.'"
[Jon Stewart]

"Jews, Muslims, Christians and atheists are generally moral people. But that's not because they're Jews, Muslims, Christians or atheist. It's because they're people."[Catherine Deveny]
