I'm not sure how many of you have seen this quote--maybe lots of you,  
for all I know. But it was new to me, and I thought it was worth  
passing along, since y'all are probably the most creative, wacky bunch  
of people I know. Maybe it'll prove to be a renewed source of  
inspiration or purpose.
