My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman.

When things feel murky and unsure, fine tuning our hearing so as to distinguish the voice of our Innermost Self brings clarity.

A scrupulous writer in every sentence that he writes will ask himself. . . What am I trying to say? What words will express it?...And he probably asks himself. . . Could I put it more shortly? But you are not obliged to go to all this trouble. You can shirk it by simply throwing open your mind and letting the ready-made phrases come crowding in. They will construct your sentences for you

George Orwell, "Horizon", April,

There is no sterner moralist than pleasure.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

Fracking is doable if there's full disclosure of all chemicals used. Secondly, science dictates the policy rather than politics. Third, there's collaboration between environmental groups and the natural gas industry.

Bill Richardson

The results of life are uncalculated and uncalculable. The years teach much which the days never know. The persons who compose our company, converse, and come and go, and design and execute many things, and somewhat comes of it all, but an unlooked for result. The individual is always mistaken. He designed many things, and drew in other persons as coadjutors, quarrelled with some or all, blundered much, and something is done; all are a little advanced, but the individual is always mistaken. It turns out somewhat new, and very unlike what he promised himself.http://www.rwe.org/works/Essays-2nd_Series_2_Experience.htm

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays Expe

Quality is a direct experience independent of and prior to intellectual abstractions.

We may be sure that it is the love of God only that can make us come out of self. If His powerful hand did not sustain us, we should not know how to take the first step in that direction.

Francois Fenelon

I've been an atheist since I was nine years old. And my mom is really religious, so we have a strange relationship. But if my mother was right, what would be the reason that the gods could let anything bad happen in the world?

As yet, Bernard Shaw hasn't become prominent enough to have any enemies, but none of his friends like him.

Oscar Wilde

The true perfection of man lies not in what man has, but in what man is.

Oscar Wilde

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.

Pythagoras

I just sit at the drawing board most of the time. I am used to talking to people. I love going to conventions, getting feedback and talking to people. Some artists don't. Some artists sit at their drawing board because their personality actually dictates that.
