Gemini

"You only live twice or so it seems
One life for yourself and one for your dreams.
You drift through the years and life seems tame
Til one dream appears and love is it's name.
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on.
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.
This dream is for you, so pay the price.
Make one dream come true, you only live twice."

---John Barry (title track to the 1967 'James Bond' film "You Only Live Twice")

Confidence

"True style comes from having the confidence to know yourself, your body, and feeling comfortable in your skin."

---Donna Karan

Fifty-Fifty

"Sex appeal is 50% what you've got and 50% what people think you've got."

Priorities

"When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left, I buy food and clothes."

---Desiderius Erasmus

Volunteer

"We're in a free-fall into the future. We don't know where we're going. Things are changing so fast. And as always when you're going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along. And all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act. It's a very interesting shift of perspective...joyfully participate in the sorrows of the world and everything changes."

---Joseph Campbell, "Sukhavati--The Place of Bliss"
