Gray Matter Consumption

"A good photo may make the landscape look beautiful, but a good laugh makes the world look beautiful."

- Cian Perez

"To laugh often and love much;

To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children;

To earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To give of one's self;

To leave the world a bit better;

Whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived...

This is to have succeeded."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Either Write Something Worth Reading Or Do Something Worth Writing."

- Benjamin Franklin
