Napoleon BonaparteFighting for one’s freedom, struggling towards being free, is like struggling to be a poet or a good Christian or a good Jew or a good Muslim or good Zen Buddhist.

Mahatma GandhiGetting in and out of the car with the halo takes a bit of experience. I struggled initially, but after a few trial runs I was fine.
