	quote[4]="It is impractical, however, to keep our sleep free from stimuli; they impinge upon the sleeper from all sides - like the germs of life which Mephistopheles complained - from without and from within and even from parts of his body which are quite unnoticed in waking life.";
	quote[5]="Films today show only a dream world and have lost touch with the way people really are. In this country, people die at 21. They die emotionally at 21, maybe younger.";
	quote[6]="I have this sort of feeling that I am all there now. It's not even thinking in terms of one's limitations, because they come naturally. I think whatever you have you can do wonders with it, if you accept it.";
	quote[7]="I long to accomplish a great and noble task; but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.";
	quote[8]="There's no doubt that one of the major issues of twentieth century history, surely in the US, is corporate propaganda.";
