In these days when science is clearly in the saddle and when our knowledge of disease is advancing at a breathless pace, we are apt to forget that not all can ride and that he also serves who waits and who applies what the horseman discovers.

Harvey Cushing

As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.

Paul Joseph Goebbels

I'm interested in spirituality and in religion and our relationship to the divine.

Giancarlo Esposito
