Marvin Minsky

Life is extraordinarily suave and sweet with certain natural, witty, affectionate people who have unusual distinction and are capable of every vice, but who make a display of none in public and about whom no one can affirm they have a single one. There is something supple and secret about them. Besides, their perversity gives spice to their most innocent occupations, such as taking a walk in the garden at night.

A little kingdom I possess, where thoughts and feelings dwell; And very hard the task I find of governing it well.

Louisa May Alcott

True religion is real living living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.

Albert Einstein

And some to Meccah turn to pray, and I toward thy bed, Yasmin.
