A RESTLESS MIND

It's after 1 in the morning and I can't sleep, so what do I do? Blog! Haven't done the whole quote thing in a while so I thought I'd share some wisdom.

• CHOICE "When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before." Mae West
• ILLUSION "One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." Carl Sagan
• FUTURE "My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny." Elaine Maxwell
• HATRED "Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd." Bertrand Russell
• WORSHIP "The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself." Richard Francis Burton
  

Did something different this time. I don't know about you, but I'm unfamiliar with some of the names I quote. I thought, where I could, I would post a link that told who these wise and chatty people are. I found it interesting, hope you do too.
