Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you’ll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.

Pain is a part of life. Sometimes it’s a big part, and sometimes it isn’t, but either way, it’s a part of the big puzzle, the deep music, the great game. Pain does two things: It teaches you, tells you that you’re alive. Then it passes away and leaves you changed. It leaves you wiser, sometimes. Sometimes it leaves you stronger. Either way, pain leaves its mark, and everything important that will ever happen to you in life is going to involve it in one degree or another.
The 50 Richest Members of Congress (2010)
Roll Call compiles its annual "50 Richest" list by calculating net worth by subtracting the minimum value of liabilities from the minimum value of assets listed on listed in each lawmaker's financial disclosure report. These reports exclude some assets, including primary residences, and generally do not provide a full representation of a Member's financial portfolio. This year’s list is based on forms filed in 2010 that disclose finances for calendar year 2009.

Good Fucking Design Advice
I would have made this a quote, but it's better with the picture. And you can buy it and hang it on your wall in case you forget.
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.
