"RIGHTS AREN'T 'RIGHTS IF SOMEONE CAN TAKE THEM AWAY THEY'RE PRIVILEGES. THAT'S ALL WE'VE EVER HAD IN THIS COUNTRY: A BILL OF TEMPORARY PRIVILEGES. AND IF YOU READ THE NEWS, EVEN BADLY, YOU KNOW THAT THE LIST GETS SHORTER AND SHORTER." -GEORGE CARLIN

@THE MASTERY OF SELF And then one day I decided that hurry and stress were no longer going to be part of my life. Stress is self-created; I decided to stop manufacturing it. We can choose an internal calm and joy even amid the chaos. -Brendon Burchard

THE TAXI When I go away from you The world beats dead Like a slackened drum. I call out for you against the jutted stars And shout into the ridges of the wind. Streets coming fast, One after the other, Wedge you away from me, And the lamps of the city prick my eyes So that I can no longer see your face. To wound myself upon the sharp edges of the night? Why should I leave you, Amy Lowell (1874-1925)

Speaking at the DC protest, Sen. Bernie Sanders called out Trump and his billionaire al-lies, like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg. "This moment is not just about one man's greed, one man's corruption or one man's con-tempt for the Constitution," Sanders said. "This is about a handful of the wealthiest people on Earth who, in their insatiable greed, have hi-jacked our economy and our political system in order to enrich themselves at the expense of working families throughout this country."

Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia. INGS Sen. Raphael Warnock speaks during a "No Kings" protest in Atlanta on Saturday. - Alyssa Pointer/Reuters "In this moment, in which we are seeing a presi-dent and an administration arrogating to him-self power that doesn't belong to him, our mes-sage is very clear," Warnock later told CNN. "This is not about the people in power, it's about the power in the people."

Once you understand why pizza is round, packed in a square box, and eaten as a triangle, you'll know that not everything in life needs to make sense to be enjoyed.
