As to her worshippers she came descending from her glowing skies So Aphrodite I have seen with shining eyes look through your eyes: One gleam of the ancestral face which lighted up the dawn for me: One fiery visitation of the love the gods desire in thee!

Forget the past and live the present hour.

Sarah Knowles Bolton

We know from science that nothing in the universe exists as an isolated or independent entity.

Margaret J. Wheatley

My father always taught me to appreciate what you're fortunate to have and give back to those who need it. No part of our society is more important than the children, especially the ones who need our help.

Dan Marino

A girl's legs are her best friends... but even the best of friends must part.

Redd Foxx

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

George Orwell

Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change, but pretty soon... Everything is Different.

Bill Watterson

If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject.

Ayn Rand

One fine day in the middle of the nightTwo dead boys got up to fightBack to back they faced each otherDrew their swords and shot each otherOne was blind and the other couldn't seeSo they chose a dummy for a referee.A blind man went to see fair playA dumb man went to shout hooray!A paralysed donkey passing byKicked the blind man in the eyeKnocked him through a nine inch wallInto a dry ditch and drowned them allA deaf policeman heard the noiseAnd came to arrest the two dead boysIf you don't believe this story

Anon., Two Dead Boys Folk rhyme

Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted in spite of your changing moods

C.S. Lewis

Christianity is completed Judaism or it is nothing.

Benjamin Disraeli

Now, my own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose. I have read and heard many attempts at a systematic account of it, from materialism and theosophy to the Christian system or that of Kant, and I have always felt that they were much too simple. I suspect that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of, or can be dreamed of, in any philosophy.

J.B.S. Haldane, Possible Worlds:

My mom's discipline worked out perfectly. I wouldn't change a thing.
