Yet at the last Beren was slain by the Wolf that came from the gates of Angband, and he died in the arms of Tinviel. But she chose mortality, and to die from the world, so that she might follow him; and it is sung that they met again beyond the Sundering Seas, and after a brief time walking alive once more in the green woods, together they passed, long ago, beyond the confines of this world. So it is that Lthien Tinviel alone of the Elf-kindred has died indeed and left the world, and they... J. R. R. Tolkien
In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this religious feeling and keep it alive in those who are receptive to it. Albert Einstein
Through the lack of attaching myself to words, my thoughts remain nebulous most of the time. They sketch vague, pleasant shapes and then are swallowed up; I forget them almost immediately. Jean-Paul Sartre
William Shakespeare quote: "But she makes hungry. Where she most satisfies..."
But she makes hungry. Where she most satisfies... William Shakespeare
If we insist on keeping Hell (or even earth) we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell. C. S. Lewis
To cultivate a garden is to walk with God, to go hand in hand with nature in some of her most beautiful processes, to learn something of her choicest secrets, and to have a more intelligent interest awakened in the beautiful order of her works elsewhere. Christian Nestell Bovee
The point of going somewhere like the Napo River in Ecuador is not to see the most spectacular anything. It is simply to see what is there. Annie Dillard

On game shows, some people will take the trip to France, but most people will take the washer and dryer pair. Chuck Palahniuk
The greatest secret of monarchic rule...is to keep men deceived and to cloak in the specious name of religion the fear by which they must be checked, so that they will fight for slavery as they would for salvation, and will think it not shameful, but a most honorable achievement, to give their life and blood that one man may have a ground for boasting.
