When we have just seen the sky full of airplanes of a quantity to kill us back to our grandfathers and forward to all unborn grandsons including all cats, goats and bedbugs. Airplanes making a noise to curdle the milk in your mother's breasts as they pass over darkening the sky and roaring like lions and you ask... Ernest Hemingway
Oh you, unceasing sun, to me Your particles communicate The luminous essence of God, Are you our God? I do not know. Intoxicated, I say nought, Bewitched by the magic potion. I cannot differentiate Between my drunk and sober state. Rumi

I used to hope that if we had to give up our old life, we'd get a new one. Jodi Picoult
What I am actually saying is that we need to be willing to let our intuition guide us, and then be willing to follow that guidance directly and fearlessly. Shakti Gawain
James Joyce quote: "Lord, heap miseries upon us yet entwine our arts with..."
Lord, heap miseries upon us yet entwine our arts with laughters low. James Joyce
In the name of God!" said Gurth, "how came they prisoners? and to whom?"Our master was too ready to fight," said the Jester, "and Athelstane was not ready enough, and no other person was ready at all. Walter Scott
I want movement, not a calm course of existence. I want excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I feel in myself a superabundance of energy which finds no outlet in our quiet life. Leo Tolstoy
David Brin quote: "Change is the very fabric of our time."
Change is the very fabric of our time. David Brin
