| 9b62e1c | I'm living at a peak of clarity and beauty I never knew existed. Every part of me is attuned to the work. I soak it up into my pores during the day, and at night--in the moments before I pass off into sleep--ideas explode into my head like fireworks. There is no greater joy than the burst of solution to a problem. Incredible that anything could happen to take away this bubbling energy, the zest that fills everything I do. It's as if all the.. | learning life meaning truth | Daniel Keyes | |

| b6098d0 | The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn't the family.

| ada3750 | The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive.
