George R. R. Martin quote: "A lie is not so bad if it is kindly meant. If only she..."
A lie is not so bad if it is kindly meant. If only she believed them... George R. R. Martin
Once upon a time, wasn’t singing a part of everyday life as much as talking, physical exercise, and religion? Our distant ancestors, wherever they were in this world, sang while pounding grain, paddling canoes, or walking long journeys. Can we begin to make our lives once more all of a piece? Finding the right songs and singing them over and over is a way to start. And when one person taps out a beat, while another leads into the melody, or when three people discover a harmony they never knew... Pete Seeger
Most of us are not really approaching the subject [scriptures] in order to find out what Christianity says: we are approaching it [them] in the hope of finding support from Christianity for the views of our own party. C. S. Lewis

Ludwig Wittgenstein quote: "Bad philosophers are like slum landlords. It's my job to put..."
Bad philosophers are like slum landlords. It's my job to put them out of business. Ludwig Wittgenstein
You don't know me from the wind you never will, you never did I'm the little jew who wrote the Bible. I've seen the nations rise and fall I've heard their stories, heard them all but love's the only engine of survival. Leonard Cohen
Orson Scott Card quote: "If you read to your kids, you'll make readers out of them,..."
If you read to your kids, you'll make readers out of them, partly because they'll associate reading with good parent-time. Orson Scott Card
Quite possibly, in those days, when his temper was more liable to explode into a spot of boots and fists, he might have helped them, just to get it out of his system. But as it happened the wheel turned the other way, toward the thought that two geezers kicking an old cove who was lying on the ground groaning were pox-ridden mucksnipes. So he had waded in and laid it on with a trowel... Terry Prachett
I climbed into the honey wagon with my hair uncombed, with May handing me buttered toast and orange juice through the window and Rosaleen sticking in thermoses of water, both of them practically running alongside the truck while August rolled out of the driveway. I felt like the Red Cross springing to action to save the bee queendom. Sue Monk Kidd
I see the awakening of consciousness as a series of spaced flashes, with the intervals between them gradually diminishing until bright blocks of perception are formed, affording memory and a slippery hold. Vladimir Nabokov
When people really hate one another, the tension within them can sometimes make itself felt throughout a room, like atmospheric waves, first hot, then cold, wafted backwards and forwards as if in an invisible process of air conditioning, creating a pervasive physical disturbance. Anthony Powell
I really do not know, Socrates, how to express what I mean. For somehow or other our arguments, on whatever ground we rest them, seem to turn round and walk away from us. Plato

And herein is the real blessing of civilization, because this happy result has its origin in her bosom, growing out of her very nature. Napoleon Bonaparte
