Meaning lies in the confrontation of contradiction - the coincidencia apositorum. That’s what we really feel, not these rational schemes that are constantly beating us over the head with the “thou shalts” and “thou should”, but rather a recovery of the real ambiguity of being and an ability to see ourselves as at once powerful and weak, noble and ignoble, future-oriented, past-facing. Terence McKenna
Epicurus quote: "Of all the means to insure happiness throughout the whole..."
Of all the means to insure happiness throughout the whole life, by far the most important is the acquisition of friends. Epicurus
Meaning is a shaky edifice we build out of scraps, dogmas, childhood injuries, newspaper articles, chance remarks, old fillms, small victories, people hated, people loved; perhaps it is because our sense of what is the case is constructed from such inadequate materials that we defend it so fiercely, even to death. Salman Rushdie
Of course, there is no question that Libya - and the world - will be better off with Gaddafi out of power.

But broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake. Barack Obama
Of course the word chaos is used in rather a vague sense by a lot of writers, but in physics it means a particular phenomenon, namely that in a nonlinear system the outcome is often indefinitely, arbitrarily sensitive to tiny changes in the initial condition. Murray Gell-Mann
J. K. Rowling quote: "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on..."
Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real? J. K. Rowling
Mean everything in the world to you after you bought it. Simple exchange of values. You give them money. They give you a stuffed dog. Ernest Hemingway

Of course, a sign doesn't mean anything unless you know how to interpret it. Arthur Golden
Roald Dahl quote: "Meanings is not important, said the BFG. I cannot be right all..."
Meanings is not important, said the BFG. I cannot be right all the time. Quite often I is left instead of right. Roald Dahl
Of course it's very hampering being a detective, when you don't know anything about detecting, and when nobody knows that you're doing detection, and you can't have people up to cross-examine them, and you have neither the energy nor the means to make proper inquiries; and, in short, when you're doing the whole thing in a thoroughly amateur, haphazard way. A. A. Milne
