I do believe in God. I think God has given so much power to people, and intelligence, and said, 'Well, you are on your own. Maybe I'm tired, I need a nap. You are mature. Why don't you look after yourselves?' And I think He's been sleeping too much. Tracy Kidder

Society is much more easily soothed than one's own conscience. Isaac Asimov
Jane Austen quote: "I do not cough for my own amusement."
I do not cough for my own amusement. Jane Austen
The earth was all before me. With a heart. Joyous, nor scared at its own liberty, I look about; and should the chosen guide. Be nothing better than a wandering cloud, I cannot miss my way. William Wordsworth
Maybe none of this is about control. Maybe it really isn't about who can own whom, who can do what to whom and get away with it, even as far as death.

Even those who have an air of being wise judge of others only, and do not know themselves. It cannot be in reason to know others and not to know oneself. Therefore one who knows himself may be said to be a man who has knowledge. Though our looks be unpleasing, we do not know it. We do not know that our skill is poor. We do not know that our station is lowly. We do not know that we grow old in years. We do not know that sickness attacks us. We do not know that death is near. We do not know... Yoshida Kenko

A mind always employed is always happy. This is the true secret, the grand recipe for felicity....In a world which furnishes so many employments which... Thomas Jefferson
Mahatma Gandhi quote: "My effort should never be to undermine another's faith but to..."
My effort should never be to undermine another's faith but to make him a better follower of his own faith. Mahatma Gandhi
By the way, Dorian, he (Lord Henry) said, after a pause, what does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose - how does the quotation run? - his own soul? Oscar Wilde
That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to comprehend. Of house-elves and children’s tales, of love, loyalty, and innocence, Voldemort knows and understands nothing. Nothing. That they all have a power beyond his own, a power beyond the reach of any magic, is a truth he has never grasped. J. K. Rowling
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "We've spent so much time judging what other people created..."
We've spent so much time judging what other people created that we've created very, very little of our own. Chuck Palahniuk
Since time itself is not movement, it must somehow have to do with movement. Time is initially encountered in those entities which are changeable, change is in time. How is time exhibited in this way of encountering it, namely, as that within which things change? Does it here give itself as itself in what it is? Can an axplacation of time starts here guarantee that time will thereby provide as it were the fundamental phenomena that determine it in its own being? Martin Heidegger
Tad Williams quote: "Every man is the hero of his own song."
Every man is the hero of his own song. Tad Williams
