I also like to look at the dynamic that takes place between religion and science because, in a way, both are asking the same questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here?

Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thoughtAs doth eternity: Cold Pastoral!When old age shall this generation waste,Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woeThan ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,' -- that is allYe know on Earth, and all ye need to know.http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/english/melani/cs6/urn.html ...there is no definitive text for this poem.

Veronika wanted to spend her remaining two or three days of life behaving as inappropriately as she could.
Paulo Coelho
