It may be that religion is dead, and if it is, we had better know it and set ourselves to try to discover other sources of moral strength before it is too late.

Pearl S. Buck

We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact.

Jean-Paul Sartre

No one is fit to judge a book until he has rounded Cape Horn in a sailing vessel, until he has bumped into two or three icebergs, until he has been lost in the sands of the desert, until he has spent a few years in the House of the Dead.

Van Wyck Brooks, From a Writer's

Yiddish Proverb

Oh the nerves, the nerves; the mysteries of this machine called man! Oh the little that unhinges it, poor creatures that we are!

Charles Dickens

You must make your choice: either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.

C.S. Lewis

Courtesy should be a continuous action, not something to be turned on and off like a faucet.
