“Did you ever figure to be living in a time when your check is good, but the bank bounces?”

““Checking” is a scale. When you weigh things on the scale called “Checking,” you will gain knowledge of most things you did not know before.”

Jung Myung Seok (1945) South Korean Leader of New Religious Movement, Poet, Author, Founder of Wolmyeongdong Center

“Did they live happily ever after? They did not. No one ever does, in spite of what the stories may say. They had their good days, as you do, and they had their bad days, and you know about those.

There were times when they felt ashamed of themselves, knowing they had not done their best, and there were times when they knew they had stood where their God had meant them to stand. All I'm trying to say is that they lived as well as they could.”

Stephen King book The Eyes of the Dragon

“Though it might be nice to imagine there once was a time when man lived in harmony with nature, it’s not clear that he ever really did.”

“When first thy pencil did these beaties give
And breathing figures learnt from thee to live”

“Did you ever notice how many survivors they have? Did you ever notice that? Everybody — every time you turn around, 15,000 survivors meet here; 400 survivors convention there. I mean, did you ever notice? Nazis sure were inefficient, weren't they? Boy, boy, boy!…You almost have no survivors that ever say they saw a gas chamber or saw the workings of a gas chamber…. they'll say these preposterous stories that anybody can check out to be a lie, an absolute lie.”
