George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

New additions to the prolurkr household
We have added two new kittens to our menagerie of indoor critters. Click on the picture for an entirely too large version of the shot. What can I say, I'm a owned by proud pets. *w*.
The cute guy looking straight into the camera is Nyx, he is named for the Greek goddess of night. Nyx is the runt of the litter from which both of them came. He is a sweet natured kitten with a serious inquisitive streak. Back when we were bottle-feeding the younger kittens Nyx would layout to his full length on my forearm and fall asleep.
The lovely lady who is to busy sleeping to be bothered by such trivialities as camera flashes is Hemera, she is named for the Greek goddess of daytime, it's pronounced "hay-meh'-rah". Hemera is partially hearing-impaired, though we found out she has hears some sounds when she jumped after the parakeets sang for the first time around the kittens.
These two, yes they are our last critters for awhile...a long while, join our 18 month old super-sized cats Persephone and China. Persephone is named for the Greek queen of the underworld. You probably gather we have a Greek theme going, but no not once I introduce you to China. China is named such because as a kitten she had the sweetest little china-doll...china the material not the nation...face. Now at 11-plus pounds and not at all a happy camper that there are kittens in her house, I have suggested to hubby that we rename her "Crabby Old Lady." I have, in the last 48 hours, received looks from my cat that one should just not experience from a beloved pet. I had no idea she even knew those kind of words.
Here is Persephone, on the left, during the demolition of our single full bathroom. Persephone is a long lean cat with subtle grey tabby strips, her under coat is buff. Oh and she is a 11 pounder so you KNOW when she decides to sit on your lap.
Her sister China, on the right, has the same coloring but that is where the similarities stop. China is a puff-ball cat. Her fur stands out from her rubenesque body making her look far larger then her 11+ pounds. I refer to her as the boneless cat because when she lies down she seems to flatten out and cover everything.
