QUOTE A DAY
"Words That Inspire, Provoke and Entertain"
Tuesday Nov. 13, 2007
-----------------------------------------------------------
Greetings fellow quote lovers:
OK folks, we have a special issue for many reasons.
First, I searched the Internet for quotes from great
books... from Homer to Robert Frost. How can you go wrong?
Secondly, this is a very personal issue for me and I need
a favor. A friend from many years ago reconnected. He is
associated with a rock band that is simply a wonderful
throwback to Cheap Trick and the amazing Elvis Costello.
The name of the band is Crashbox. They have made it to the
final 5 in a Rolling Stone Magazine contest. I don't ask
for a favor often from you readers of QAD... but if you
can spare 20 seconds to cast your vote for Crashbox, you
would be doing me a huge favor.
My longtime buddy, Mike Pascuzzi has helped us get video
clips for EVTV1 and literally has been a great guy since
meeting over 10 years.
Here is the link to vote: Vote For Crashbox
Thanks in advance good readers. We think everyone of us
can be part of launching this amazing band together.
Best,
JA

JA's Video Pick of The Week
Parrot Dances And Rocks Out
One of my all time favorite videos shows this cockatoo
(OK, it is not a parrot:-) rocking out and dancing in
perfect beat. He has more rhythm than most white people
at a dance club... did I really say that?

We dance round in a ring and suppose,

----------------------------------------------------------
For, what other dungeon is so dark as one's own heart!

*---- More Quotes for the Week ----*
We think we know what we are doing. We have always
thought so. We never seem to acknowledge that we have
been wrong in the past, and so might be wrong in the
future. Instead, each generation writes off earlier
errors as the result of bad thinking by less able minds
– and then confidently embarks on fresh errors of its
own.
--Michael Crichton, Prey

Seemingly senseless pain and trauma engulfs much of life.
If you seek to follow Him, you must be content to trust
His character rather than your ability to understand. The
difference between a knife in the hand of an assassin and
a knife in the hand of a surgeon is intent: both inflict
severe pain. You must decide whether God is an assassin or
a surgeon. But remember, your choice does not change God,
only your opinion.
-- Walter A. Henrichsen, Thoughts From the Diary Of A
Desperate Man
----------------------------------------------------------
How frequently, in the course of our lives, the evil which
in itself we seek most to shun, and which, when we are
fallen into, is the most dreadful to us, is oftentimes the
very means or door of our deliverance, by which alone we
can be raised again from the affliction we are fallen into.
--Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe
-----------------------------------------------------------
Achians and Trojans cut each other down at close quarters,
no longer having patience for the volleys exchanged with
bows and javelins, but stood up close against each of
other, matching their fury and fought their battles with
sharp hatchets and axes and with great swords...
--Homer, Illiad – Book XV

MYSTERY QUOTE AND ANSWER - DID YOU GUESS CORRECTLY?
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever
done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I
have ever known.
