Nothing moves fast in Texas except the windmills. And the hawk that rises up with a clatter of wings.(Nothing more startling there than sudden motion, Everything is so still.) May Sarton
That motley drama—oh, be sure It shall not be forgot! With its Phantom chased for evermore By a crowd that seize it not, Through a circle that ever returneth in To the self-same spot, And much of Madness, and more of Sin, And Horror the soul of the plot. Edgar Allan Poe

He who considers more deeply knows that, whatever his acts and judgements may be, he is always wrong. Friedrich Nietzsche
Symbologists often remarked that France-a country renowned for machismo, womanizing, and diminutive insecure leaders like Napoleon and Pepin the Short-could not have chosen a more apt national emblem than a thousand-foot phallus. Dan Brown
George Orwell quote: "Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than just..."
Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than just ribbons? George Orwell
George Byron quote: "So we'll go no more a-roving so late into the night, Though..."

The really amazing thing about all this is no matter what you believe, it took some doing to get from a point where there was nothing, to a point where all the right neurons fire and pop so that we can make decisions. More amazing is how even though that's become second nature, we all still manage to screw it up. Jodi Picoult
