I have told you that, no matter how many times you have refused to enter the sanctuary, you have only to knock and the door will be opened to you. I have said to you Ask and it shall be given you, but you refuse to believe in me. You think that someone is counting your sins, your moments of indecision or recalcitrance, but it is not true. You are the only one counting.I say to you brother, stop counting, stop making excuses, stop pretending that the door is locked. I am here at the threshold. Reach out and take my hand and we will open the door and walk through together.I am the door to love without conditions. When you walk through, you too will be the door.http://www.paulferrini.com/html/door.html

A man who has nothing which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the existing of better men than himself.

John Stuart Mill

The busiest of living agents are certain dead men's thoughts.

Christian Nevell Bovee

For we have thought the longer thoughtsAnd gone the shorter way.And we have danced to devil's tunesShivering home to pray;I take you now and for always,For always is always now.

Philip Larkin, Is it for now or

I respect only those who resist me; but I cannot tolerate them.

Charles de Gaulle

Wrists are for bracelets, not for cutting.

Kellin Quinn

I had seen birth and death but had thought they were different.

T. S. Eliot

Being brave...is not always being unafraid. Maybe it's more like doing what you know is right even when you're too tired. Or scared. It's going on and doing it anyway...even when you think you can't take one more step.

If you're teaching a class, you can think about the elementary things that you know very well. These things are kind of fun and delightful. It doesn't do any harm to think them over again. Is there a better way to present them? The elementary things are easy to think about; if you can't think of a new thought, no harm done; what you thought about it before is good enough for the class. If you do think of something new, you're rather pleased that you have a new way of looking at it.The questions of the students are often the source of new research. They often ask profound questions that I've thought about at times and then given up on, so to speak, for a while. It wouldn't do me any harm to think about them again and see if I can go any further now. The students may not be able to see the thing I want to answer, or the subtleties I want to think about, but they remind me of a problem by asking questions in the neighborhood of that problem. It's not so easy to remind yourself of these things.

Richard Feynman, The Dignified P

You can find out anything you want about a car now, and especially every bit of information about the price, without relying on the dealers.

Susan Orlean

Love thy neighbor as thyself, but choose your neighborhood.

Louise Beal

What we do as a society is seek simple answers.

Look at what President Kennedy managed to achieve during the Cuban missile crisis. If Bush had been president in 1962, do you think he would have avoided a nuclear war?
