— Plato  


The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows where he is going. - Epictetus

A sense of humor is a mans cleavage

"Comedy is a way to navigate the swamps of self." – Marc Maron

"Inspiration is a guest that only calls when invited"

"Coelum non animam mutant qui trans mare currunt" - Those who cross the sea change the sky above them, but not their souls. -Horace
