This quote was in an article that I read many years ago about the band called Rush. The drummer was riding across North Amercia on his Motorcycle and read this quote in a bathroom stall. One of my favorites quotes.

Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion; You must set yourself on fire!
-- Some guy named Reggie Leech in Montana

"The only hindrance  to communication is the illusion that is being accomplished. "

My dad uses this quite often.. I think it is a misquote from

George Bernard Shaw:

    The problem with communication ... is the illusion that it has been accomplished.

I like my dad's version better....
