Galway Kinnell quote: "When a group of peole get up from a table, the table doesn't..."
When a group of peole get up from a table, the table doesn't know which way any of them will go. Galway Kinnell
The world of science lives fairly comfortably with paradox. We know that light is a wave, and also that light is a particle. The discoveries made in the infinitely small world of particle physics indicate randomness and chance, and I do not find it any more difficult to live with the paradox of a universe of randomness and chance and a universe of pattern and purpose than I do with light as a wave and light as a particle. Living with contradiction is nothing new to the human being. Madeleine L'Engle
Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow, you must not stay with it under any circumstances. Carlos Castaneda
A rose by any other name. Would never, never smell the same. And cunning is the nose that knows. An onion that's been called a rose. Wendell Johnson

The notions of a young man of one or two and twenty,' said he, 'as to what is necessary in manners to make him quite the thing, are more absurd, I believe, than those of any other set of beings in the world. The folly of the means they often employ is only to be equalled by the folly of what they have in view. Jane Austen
Edith Wharton quote: "It was easy enough to despise the world, but decidedly..."
It was easy enough to despise the world, but decidedly difficult to find any other habitable region. Edith Wharton
No, I was just thinking about Chernobyl. That's like a scream from the universe warning us, but we're not paying any attention. Christopher Durang
If a man has committed wrong in life, I don't know any moralist more anxious to point his errors out to the world than his own relations... William Makepeace Thackeray
Toni Morrison quote: "Love is never any better than the lover."
Love is never any better than the lover. Toni Morrison
Yet nothing can to nothing fall, Nor any place be empty quite; Therefore I think my breast hath all. Those pieces still, though they be not unite; And now, as broken glasses show. A hundred lesser faces, so. My rags of heart can like, wish, and adore, But after one such love, can love no more. John Donne
To simply think about the people, as the dominators do, without any self-giving in that thought, to fail to think with the people, is a sure way to cease being revolutionary leaders. Paulo Freire
One's own free and unfettered volition, one's own caprice, however wild, one's own fancy, inflamed sometimes to the point of madness - that is the one best and greatest good, which is never taken into consideration because it cannot fit into any classification and the omission of which sends all systems and theories to the devil. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Through the mosses bare, they have planted thorn-trees for pleasure here and there. If any man so daring as dig them up in spite, He shall find their sharpest thorns in his bed at night. William Allingham
