"My childhood did not prepare me for the fact that the world is full of cruel and bitter things." ••J. Robert Oppenheimer

 "Generosity is luck going in the opposite direction, away from you. If you're generous to someone, if you do something to help him out, you are in effect making him lucky. This is important. It's like inviting yourself into a community of good fortune." ~ Happy birthday, Twyla Tharp
