Carl Sagan quote: "When we look up at night and view the stars, everything we see..."
When we look up at night and view the stars, everything we see is shinning because of distant nuclear fusion. Carl Sagan
Internationalism is in any case hostile to democracy….The only purely popular government is local, and founded on local knowledge. The citizens can rule the city because they know the city; but it will always be an exceptional sort of citizen who has or claims the right to rule over ten cities, and these remote and altogether alien cities…To make all politics cosmopolitan is to create an aristocracy of globe-trotters. If your political outlook really takes in the Cannibal Islands, you depend... Gilbert K. Chesterton
Historical Re-creation, he thought glumly, as they picked their way across, under, over or through the boulders and insect-buzzing heaps of splintered timber, with streamlets running everywhere. Only we do it with people dressing up and running around with blunt weapons, and people selling hot dogs, and the girls all miserable because they can only dress up as wenches, wenching being the only job available to women in the olden days. Terry Prachett
But Yossarian knew he was right, because, as he explained to Clevinger, to the best of his knowledge he had never been wrong. Joseph Heller
It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. Whenyou pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you paytoo little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing youbought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. Thecommon law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting alot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is wellto add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you willhave enough to pay for... John Ruskin

It must be nice to be so strong and to think it's because you're so good, that you live right and eat right, so you deserve your health and happiness. But there is such a thing as luck, and there's more bad luck than good in this world. Laura Lippman
And lastly from that period I remember riding in a taxi one afternoon between very tall buildings under a mauve and rosy sky; I began to bawl because I had everything I wanted and knew I would never be so happy again. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul. Plato
Voltaire quote: "It is clear that the individual who persecutes a man, his..."
It is clear that the individual who persecutes a man, his brother, because he is not of the same opinion, is a monster. Voltaire
Matthew Arnold quote: "And we forget because we must"
And we forget because we must Matthew Arnold
But there must be a real giving up of the self. You must throw it away 'blindly' so to speak. Christ will indeed give you a real personality: but you must not go to Him for the sake of that. As long as your own personality is what you are bothering about you are not going to Him at all. The very first step is to try to forget about the self altogether. Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It... C. S. Lewis
I don’t really think the standard of judgment, the missing link, you spoke of that you find in my stories emerges from any religion but Christianity, because it concerns specifically Christ and the Incarnation, the fact that there has been a unique intervention in history. It’s not a matter in these stories of Do Unto Others. That can be found in any ethical cultural series. It is the fact of the Word made flesh. Flannery O'Connor
Dan Brown quote: "Religion is flawed, but only because man is flawed."
Religion is flawed, but only because man is flawed. Dan Brown
