blind. ~William Shakespeare

But this had been a sin of passion, not of principle, nor even purpose.
~Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter
Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the
utmost passion of her heart! Else it may be their miserable fortune, when some
mightier touch than their own may have awakened all her sensibilities, to be
reproached even for the calm content, the marble image of happiness, which they
will have imposed upon her as the warm reality. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter
Infatuation is when you think he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry
Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as
Jimmy Conners. Love is when you realize that he's as sexy as Woody Allen, as
smart as Jimmy Connors, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger
and nothing like Robert Redford - but you'll take him anyway. ~Judith Viorst

you trip. ~Jonathan Carroll, "Outside the Dog Museum"
Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despiceable an ignoreable war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." -- Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio, replied:
"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his
tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand
this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they
receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
God doesn't play dice.

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." --A. Einstein
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence." --Einstein, Albert
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." --Einstein, Albert
"What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world." --Albert Einstein
"If one studies too zealously, one easily loses his pants." --Albert Einstein
Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has
brought into the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man's
discovery of fire. This basic force of the universe cannot be fitted into the
outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms.
For there is no secret and there is no defense; there is no possibility of
control except through the aroused understanding and insistence of the peoples
of the world. We scientists recognise our inescapable responsibility to carry
to our fellow citizens an understanding of atomic energy and its implication
for society. In this lies our only security and our only hope - we believe that
an informed citizenry will act for life and not for death.
A. Einstein, 1947 d.C.

"Relationships--of all
kinds--are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the
sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to
hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it,
but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with
respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But
hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is
lost."
-Kaleel Jamison
"Truly loving another
means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even

love and be lovable."

It's at night, when perhaps we should be dreaming, that the mind is most clear,
that we are most able to hold all our life in the palm of our skull. I don't
know if anyone has ever pointed out that great attraction of insomnia before,
but it is so; the night seems to release a little more of our vast backward
inheritance of instincts and feelings; as with the dawn, a little honey is
allowed to ooze between the lips of the sandwich, a little of the stuff of
dreams to drip into the waking mind. I wish I believed, as J. B. Priestley did,
that consciousness continues after disembodiment or death, not forever, but for
a long while. Three score years and ten is such a stingy ration of time, when
there is so much time around. Perhaps that's why some of us are insomniacs;
night is so precious that it would be pusillanimous to sleep all through it! A
"bad night" is not always a bad thing. ~Brian W. Aldiss
Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep. ~Fran Lebowitz
Sleep... Oh! how I loathe those little slices of death. ~Longfellow

Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children. ~George

Beauty
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we
must carry it with us or we find it not. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
One summer night, out on a flat headland, all but surrounded by the waters of
the bay, the horizons were remote and distant rims on the edge of space.
Millions of stars blazed in darkness, and on the far shore a few lights burned
in cottages. Otherwise there was no reminder of human life. My companion and I
were alone with the stars: the misty river of the Milky Way flowing across the
sky, the patterns of the constellations standing out bright and clear, a
blazing planet low on the horizon. It occurred to me that if this were a sight
that could be seen only once in a century, this little headland would be
thronged with spectators. But it can be see many scores of nights in any year,
and so the lights burned in the cottages and the inhabitants probably gave not
a thought to the beauty overhead; and because they could see it almost any
night, perhaps they never will. ~Rachel Carson
Flowers...are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the
utilities of the world. ~Ralph Emerson, 1844
Had the price of looking been blindness, I would have looked. ~Ralph Ellison,
"Battle Royal"
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, but that which is good
is always beautiful. ~Ninon de L'Enclos
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means
and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it,
it moves again since it is life. ~William Faulkner
When I say beautiful things, I'm not necessarily living them; when I live them,
the beautiful thing is that words aren't necessary. ~Brock Tully
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
~Walt Whitman
Night time is really the best time to work. All the ideas are there to be yours
because everyone else is asleep. ~Catherine O'Hara
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the
essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and
not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. ~Henry David Thoreau,
Walden (1854), II, Where I Lived, and
What I Lived For
