But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while.

Nay, the same Solomon the king, although he excelled in the glory of treasure and magnificent buildings, of shipping and navigation, of service and attendance, of fame and renown, and the like, yet he maketh no claim to any of those glories, but only to the glory of inquisition of truth; for so he saith expressly, "The glory of God is to conceal a thing, but the glory of the king is to find it out;" as if, according to the innocent play of children, the Divine Majesty took delight to hide His... Francis Bacon
It is a good principle in science not to believe any 'fact'---however well attested---until it fits into some accepted frame of reference.

An ocean traveler has even more vividly the impression that the ocean is made of waves than that it is made of water. Arthur Eddington

God does not give us more than we can handle," I am told but I wonder if God doesn't overestimate me just a little. Or perhaps, and this is likely, I underestimate God. Julia Cameron

and he would have passed a pleasant life of it, in despite of the Devil and all his works, if his path had not been crossed by a being that causes more perplexity to mortal man than ghosts, goblins, and the whole race of witches put together, and that was—a woman. Washington Irving
Cormac McCarthy quote: "Commend him gently, whom the wrath he suckled at his heart has..."
Commend him gently, whom the wrath he suckled at his heart has wasted more than years. Cormac McCarthy
Nor is there wanting in the press. Some spirit to stand simply forth, Heroic in it nakedness, Against the uttermost of earth. The tale of earth's unhonored things. Sounds nobler there than 'neath the sun; And the mind whirls and the heart sings, And a shout greets the daring one. Robert Frost
