"Reputation is what men and women think of us. Character is what God and angels know of us."

- Thomas Paine

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few people near us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

- Albert Einstein

"Our arms have but specific lengths, yet we reach just beyond what's out of our grasp. Eyes can see but only so far and still we peer out unto the great unknowns of the ever changing landscape before us. When in the history of man, have men been content with what they have; with what's readily available to them? If a man can't walk to it, he'd build a vehicle to get him to it. If a man can't see it, he'll construct glasses to sharpen his vision and make more precise the images once blurred. If a man can't have what his heart wants, dreams alone won't curb his longing or make content his ambition. He'll do what he has to do to have what he wants."

-The Honorable 'Sass

So I stepped to Pluto

Where I ruled over the Plutonians for a stint

They were easy to control

They drank heavily, spoke in small talk and smiled constantly

They defecated through their mouths and shit plutonium

They were dazzled by the lint in my pockets

I told them they were stones from the planet Moneylessness

They just smiled and said "yeah, yeah, I'm hip,I'm hip"

I got mad and told them "I don't want no lip"

So they made me king

The only stipulation was I had to frown all the time and boast

But I smile too much for that so I got ghost
