I rely far more on gut instinct than researching huge amounts of statistics. — Richard Branson

There is a speculative battle innate to imagination this much we know, yet let us not 'bear the wounds'2 of battles' avoided. Petrified imaginaries are the scars of our aversion; calcified thought coagulated into magical formulas of destructive equivalence. — Anonymous

You broke me bodily.
The heart ain't the half of it,
And I'll never learn to laugh at it
In my good natured way.

So I guess that's the price I pay. — Ani DiFranco
