If anyone went on for a thousand years asking of life: 'Why are you living?' life, if it could answer, would only say, 'I live so that I may live.'

In men it takes the form of the psychological principle, so truly expressed in the words of the Gospel, " They have loved darkness better than light, because their deeds were evil." This principle shows itself in men not trying to recognise the truth, but to persuade themselves that the life they are leading, which is what they like and are used to, is a life perfectly... Leo Tolstoy

You do what you can where you are. You musn’t feel impotent because you’re not all powerful. Claudia Johnson
Abraham Zogoiby covered his face that night in August 1939 because he had been assailed by fear, [...] a sudden apprehension that the ugliness of life might defeat its beauty; that love did not make lovers invulnerable. Nevertheless, he thought, even if the world's beauty and love were on the edge of destruction, theirs would still be the only side to be on; defeated love would still be love, hate's victory would not make it other than it was. Salman Rushdie
Dean Koontz quote: "We're out of cocktail olives, it's a tragedy of historic..."
We're out of cocktail olives, it's a tragedy of historic proportions, but we're coping because we're Americans. Dean Koontz
