Cesare Pavese
"Life is pain and the enjoyment of love is an anesthetic."
~Cesare Pavese
Author Profession: Poet
Nationality: Italian

This quote is amazingly true considering all that life throws at each of us. We step through each day wondering where our next foot will be placed, blind to the possibilities that lay around every corner. We cannot plan for each possible event because this would drive our minds to the brink of explosion. What we can do is move through life's pain knowing that the love we give and receive from those important to us will carry our steps closer to our destination. I will always be grateful or this quote from Cesare as it reminds us to cherish that love we have over the pain life gives.

Clarence Darrow
"True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else."
~Clarence Darrow
An American Lawyer Born: April 18, 1857 and Died: March 13, 1938
I find this quote to be very inspiring and true. I once said in a letter to my Father while serving in the Saudi Arabia as a Marine Radio Operator during the Gulf War, "When our country becomes blind to the truth, then we shall surely die." The acceptance of truth and seeking it out are extremely difficult for most people of any country, but it is something we must all strive to reach. It is always easier to point out the things that are wrong of our neighbors but not that of ourselves which is why a true patriot looks at the internal situation first before seeking to expand that view outside its borders.
Clarence Darrow is renowned for working on many Civil Liberties cases

Random What?
Welcome any and all to what I consider a novel concept of exploring random dead people. This blog is not about a morbid infatuation of death and dying but that of random people throughout history that are no longer with us.
I intend to introduce and explore different people of history from as many walks of life, some know and some the have faded into the background or not know at all. Some times I will provide detailed accounts of what I have discovered of their life and others will be just a quote from some period of the life with additional links to give you an opportunity to learn more about them.
Every article will open with a quote from the person of topic and what I see in the meaning of the quote. This would be followed up with additional information when able but at the very least links to other sources will be made available.
I hope you enjoy reading about "Random Dead People". Please any and all comments suggestions or whatnot is welcomed except of course SPAM.
