| Quote:A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.[Winston Churchill] Quote:Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour.

Vroom! Beep! Honk! Honk! Ha-ha. Where was I? Oh yeah, stay out of my booze![Homer Simpson] Quote:Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.[Saint Augustine] Quote:I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal. Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:To love beauty is to see light.[Victor Hugo] Quote:We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness.

Lewis] Quote:I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good.[T.S.

Lewis] Quote:Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.[Robert Frost] Quote:You cannot go on 'explaining away' for ever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.[Siddhartha Buddha] Quote:There are no seeing eye cats, of course, because the sole function of cats, in the Great Chain of Life, is to cause harm to human beings.[Dave Barry] Quote:It is never okay to throw away veteran underwear.

Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:Men are born with two eyes, but only one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as they say.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:Some people seem as if they can never have been children, and others seem as if they could never be anything else.[George Dennison Prentice] Quote:Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:Not only does God play dice, but he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.[Stephen Hawking] Quote:Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell -- you see, I have friends in both places.[Mark Twain] Quote:Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.[Mark Twain] Quote:Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.[Mark Twain] Quote:The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.[Stephen King] Quote:As soon as beauty is sought not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:Our country offers the most wonderful example of democratic government on a giant scale that the world has ever seen; and the peoples of the world are watching to see whether we succeed or fail.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others.

But I do say meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Religion operates not only on the vertical plane but also on the horizontal.

Fields] Quote:It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality.

If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true?I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents.It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.

He may not seem such a good friend after telling. [Arthur Brisbane] Quote:When you live in Texas, every single time you see snow it?s magical. [Pamela Ribon] Quote:What is it about genus arboretum that socks us in the figurative solar plexus? We see a logging truck go cruising down the road, stacked with a bunch of those fresh-cut giants, we feel like we lost a brother. Next thing you know, we're in The Brick, we're flopping money down on the bar. Wood. We're under a roof. Wood. We're walking the floors. Wood. Grabbing a pool cue. That's wood. Our friends in the forest carry a set of luggage from the mythical baggage carousel. Tree of life, tree of knowledge, family tree, Buddha's Bodhi tree. Page one of life, in the beginning. Genesis 3:22. Adam and Eve. They're kicking back in the garden of Eden and boom, they get an eviction notice. Why is that? "Lest they should also take of the tree of life, eat and live forever." A definitive Yahweh no-no. Be good to yourself, go out and plant a wet one on a tree. [Dr. Thomas Fuller] Quote:The quality of mercy is not strain'd, <br>It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven <br>Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: <br>It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. <br>'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes <br>The throned monarch better than his crown; <br>His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, <br>The attribute to awe and majesty, <br>Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; <br>But mercy is above this sceptred sway, <br>It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, <br>It is an attribute to God himself; <br>And earthly power doth then show likest God's, <br>When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, <br>Though justice be thy plea, consider this, <br>That in the course of justice none of us <br>Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; <br>And that same prayer doth teach us all to render <br>The deeds of mercy. [William Shakespeare] Quote:The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason. [John Cage] Quote:Dreams are postcards from our subconscious, inner self to outer self, right brain trying to cross that moat to the left. Too often they come back unread: "return to sender, addressee unknown." That's a shame because it's a whole other world out there--or in here depending on your point of view. [Dennis Koenig and Jordan Budde] Quote:You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a firefly and still have room enough for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart. [Fred Allen] Quote:One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words. [Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:The real distinction is between those who adapt their purposes to reality and those who seek to mold reality in the light of their purposes. [Henry Kissinger] Quote:Hey, what do you think drives all this grey matter up here? Electricity. It's brain waves surfing on synaptic junctions. If your radio can go out because of sun spots, why can't your cerebellum? It's all a matter of reception and it seems to me these signals are going to get crossed somehow. It's all logical.

You are my husband. You are my wife. My feet shall run because of you. My feet shall dance because of you. My heart shall beat because of you. My eyes see because of you. My mind thinks because of you and I shall love because of you." [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Life here is so elemental. So real.

Endless darkness. It's totally exhilarating, and I feel very lucky to be here. Very, very lucky. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:It's just human. We all have the jungle inside of us. We all have wants and needs and desires, strange as they may seem. If you stop to think about it, we're all pretty creative, cooking up all these fantasies. it's like a kind of poetry. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Life here is so elemental. So real. Without the interference of civilization you can really experience things like,...silence.

[Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Greetings on this most exceedingly beautiful spring morning. A morning swollen with new life, a morning on which, if I had the voice, I would let loose with song. It's hard to believe just a few short weeks ago we were eating our cornflakes in the wintery dark. Now, well it's still kind of dim out there, but I can see the golden glow of Apollo's chariot waiting in the wings, about to make its entrance. Winter's on the lam, no doubt. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Weird, isn't it? Somehow in the dead of winter when its 40 below, so cold your words just freeze in the air, you think you'll never hear a robin's song again or see a blossom on a cherry tree, when one day you wake up and bingo, light coming through the mini blinds is softened with a tick of rose and the cold morning air has lost its bite. It's spring once again, the streets are paved with mud and the hills are alive with the sound of mosquitos. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:I have seen men fly bombers with their faces half- blown away. You're going to allow a few algebra formulas to ground you?

Patience and time sit like sages on the planets, strong and impersonal. There is a stark beauty to all of this.

It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win the favour of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man.
