You asked for a loving God: you have one... The consuming fire Himself, the Love that made the worlds, persistent as the artist's love for his work and despotic as a man's love for a dog, provident and venerable as a father's love for a child, jealous, inexorable, exacting as love between the sexes. How this should be, I do not know: it passes reason to explain why any creatures, not to say creatures such as we, should have a value so prodigious in their Creator's eyes. C. S. Lewis

Now, scholars can be very useful and necessary, in their own dull and unamusing way. They provide a lot of information. It's just that there is Something More, and that Something More is what life is really all about. Benjamin Hoff
Jane Jacobs quote: "Cities have the capability of providing something for..."
Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody. Jane Jacobs
Robert A. Heinlein quote: "Remember though, your best weapon is between your ears and..."
Remember though, your best weapon is between your ears and under your scalp -provided it's loaded. Robert A. Heinlein
growing pale and sober with the thought that her fate was soon to be decided; for, like all young people, she was sure that her whole life could be settled by one human creature, quite forgetting how wonderfully Providence trains us by disappointment, surprises us with unexpected success, and turns our seeming trials into blessing. Louisa May Alcott
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
