"Verily the ocean laughs always with the innocent."

"But what of those to whom life is not an ocean,
and man-made laws are not sand-towers,
But to whom life is a rock, and the law a chisel
with which they would carve their own likeness?

...You who walk facing the sun, what images drawn on earth can hold you?"

---Kahil Gibran ON LAWS

"POWER IS ALL PERCEPTION. Its non-use is its most powerful use. The trick is to use the least amount of power to create the maximum amount of change. Someone who has elegance can apply power selectively, like a laser, and carefully, almost unobtrusively, so that you don't feel you're being overpowered. YOU FEEL YOU'RE BEING MOTIVATED."

---Diane K. Shane

Oh father, be not so strict! If I don’t have my little demi-tasse of coffee three times a day, I’m just like a dried up piece of roast goat! Ah! How sweet coffee is! Lovelier than a thousand kisses, sweeter far than muscatel wine! I must have my coffee, and if anyone wishes to please me , let him present me with coffee!

-Johann Sebastian Bach

"We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

---Martin Luther King, Jr.

"How rigorous the standards of evidence must be if we are really to know something is true; how many dead ends have plagued human thinking, how many biases can color our interpretations, how belief systems widely held and sup[ported by the political, religious and academic hierarchies often turn out to be not just slightly in error, but grotesquely wrong.....

Everything hinges on the matter of evidence....The more we want it to be true, the more careful we have to be....People make mistakes. People play practical jokes. People stretch the truth for money or attention or fame. People occasionally misunderstand what they're seeing. People sometimes even see things that aren't there..."

---Carl Sagan

"WE need to find God, and he cannot found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature---the trees, the flowers, the grass---grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence.

We need silence to be able to touch souls."




---Mother Teresea
