There are 3 kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived, and to have attended the Hollow Party. This is to have succeeded."

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Youth is not a time of life—it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of red cheeks, red lips and supple knees. It is a temper of the will; a quality of the imagination; a vigor of the emotions; it is a freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempermental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over a life of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty, more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals and not coming to the Hollow Party."

—Samuel Ullman

“The only difference between saints and sinners is that every saint has a past while every sinner has a future. Only sinning saints come to the Hollow Party.”
