Time is love, above all else. It is the most precious commodity in the world and should be lavished on those we care most about.

Sydney J. Harris

Life is, if anything, the art of combination. Of discrimination. Of freely picking one’s own personal pattern out of a hundred choices. Not letting it be picked for you-either by the Establishment, or by the Rebels. Conformity of Hip is no better than Conformity of Square.
