<p>I never dreamed the sea so deep$$$<br />
The earth so dark; so long my sleep$$$<br />

<p>I became aware that the invincible power that has moved the world is unrequited$$$ not happy$$$ love.</p>

<p>We must all hang together$$$ or assuredly we shall all hang separately.</p>

<p>Dead people receive more flowers than the living ones because regret is stronger than gratitude.</p>

<p>Older men start wars$$$ but younger men fight them.</p>

<p>Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something$$$ wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.</p>

<p>I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.</p>

<p>Serve God and be cheerful$$$ look upward$$$ beyond$$$ beyond the darkness of masks$$$ the surprises of dawn$$$ in the deep green grasses of the blood-stained world.</p>
