I've occasionally been teased about how long my email signature is for some of my email addresses. But, they're excerpts of some of my favorite quotes (though certainly not all of them).
I thought I'd post these here, maybe some others will find them as meaningful as I do. ;-)
Also, you'll see my Instant Messaging contact information as well (hopefully it doesn't trigger a rash of IM spammers). ;-)

"Holistic medicine treats the person rather than the disease,
it's concern lies with the 'whole person' and with permitting
individuals to assume self-responsibility for their own health.
Whereas illness is the sole convern of 'traditional medicine',
holistic 'well medicine' deals with wells and health promotion"
