6)Favorite quote? Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.- Buddha

5. I collect empty space. The more crap I get rid of, the happier I am.
6. I don't think I can narrow it down to one favorite since I quote stuff almost compulsively...one that had a pretty profound effect on me is from "Cold Mountain" by James Frazier
on page 420 as follows:

"And it was pointless, he said, to think how those years could have been put to better use, for he could harldy have put them to worse. There was no recovering them now. You could grieve endlessly for the loss of time and for the damage done therein. For the dead, and for your own lost self. But what the wisdom of the ages says is that we do well not to grieve on and on. And those old ones knew a thing or two and had some truth to tell, Inman said, for you can grieve your heart out and in the end you are still where you were. All your grief hasn't changed a thing. What you have lost will not be returned to you. It will always be lost. You're left with only your scars to mark the void. All you can choose to do is go on or not. But if go on, it's knowing you carry your scars with you."
