en Let us, if we must have great actions, make our own so. All action is of infinite elasticity, and the least admits of being inflated with celestial air, until it eclipses the sun and moon.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en The president made clear that he is politically interested in a strong dollar, not a weak one, ... It is clear that governments have limited possibilities for action. As you know, the central banks, which can act, are independent and we respect that.

en If they keep crashing stuff into the moon, the moon's gonna get pissed off, and the tides'll change, and all the women'll start PMS-ing together. Then you guys are going to fucking regret it.
  Tori Amos

en It's the board I had a problem with. I could totally handle being in the water and stuff. I came here to do my own stunts. Water! Ocean! Action! Big waves! That water, that water has tamed me. You can feel that the world is connected to it.
