"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, AND die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
~Author Unknown~
"The fact that the wisdom of God is foolishness with men does not create a presumption that the foolishness of this world makes in any sense for Divine Wisdom,"

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."
~C.S. Lewis~
"It is well known to Mystics that if someone meditates upon a symbol around which certain ideas have been associated by past meditation, they will obtain access to these ideas, even if that glyph has never been elucidated to them by those who have received the oral tradition by mouth to ear."
~ Dion Fortune ~
But, I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.....

"Much of what exists, we do not see. Much of what we see, does not exist."

"Dreams are true interpreters of our inclinations, but Art is required to sort them out."

~Dionysius~
"We rest; a dream has power to poison sleep.
We rise; one wandering thought pollutes the day.
We feel, conceive, or reason; laugh or weep.
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away.
It is the same: Be it joy or sorrow.
The path of its departure still be free.
Man's Yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but mutability."
~Author Forgotten~
"My lute, be as thou wast when thou did grow.
With thy Green Mother in some shady grove.
When immelodius winds but made thee move,
And birds on thee their rammage did bestow.
Sith that dear voice, which did thy sound approve,
Which used in such harmonius strains to flow,
Is reft from Earth to tune those Spheres above.
What art thou, but a harbinger of woe?
Thy pleasing notes be pleasing notes no more,
But orphan wailings to the fainting ear.
Each step a sigh, each sound draws forth a tear,
Be therefore silent as in woods before:
Or, if that any hand to touch thee deign,
Like widowed turtle still her loss complain."
~William Drummond - To His Lute~
"As I went singing over the Earth,
Many a Song I heard.
A Song of Death and a Song of Mirth,
A Song that was of little worth,
And the Song of a bird."
~Mary Coleridge~
A Haiku:
"When on your way out,
Be sure that you say good-bye,
Then, lock the door tight."
~Everdread~
"What is Insanity, but the Freedom to do the things that Society, as a whole, is too withdrawn to accept?"
~Adom Lee~
"...but as it was, the odds just weren't in our favor. The curse was evil. I heard all that. Whatever... Let me tell you something: Odds are manmade. They're not SPOOKY. They're really just a bunch of crap. How do you "Overcome" them?? You DON'T PAY ATTENTION to them. You pay attention to The Game."
~Curt Schilling, on Baseball, and Life~
"There are some qualities, Some incorporeal things,
That have a double life,
Which thus is made.
A type of twin entity which springs
From Matter and Light,
Evinced in Solid and Shade."
~Edgar Allan Poe - Silence~
"In the streets, the Children screamed;
The Lovers cried, and the Poets dreamed.
Not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken."
~James Taylor - American Pie~
