Where beauty is worshipped for beauty's sake as a goddess, independent of and superior to morality and philosophy, the most horrible putrefaction is apt to set in. The lives of the aesthetes are the far from edifying commentary on the religion of beauty.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Albert Schweitzer

There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love -- every man works his oar voluntarily!

St. Francis De Sales

Alexis Carrel

Sometimes it takes a meltdown to cool down.

Evinda Lepins

Was it worth it? To lose part of who he had been in order to live free? Perhaps this new self was better than the old.

Orson Scott Card

Comedy's so subjective, and if someone comes to watch, doesn't get it, doesn't find it funny, then fine.

Johnny Vegas

Johann von Goethe

Ted W. Engstrom
