A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanging; it is the skin of living
thought and changes from day to day as does the air around us. -Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Dickinson
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so

To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human
being. I should be unwilling to take the life of the lamb for the sake
of the human body. I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more
entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man. -Mahatma Gandhi

Faites que le re^ve devore votre vie a fin que la vie ne devore pas
votre re^ve. - Liasons, 4th & Ivy, San Diego
(Make your dream devour your life so that life does not devour your
dream.)

truth. I know the truth. The truth is hardly what I need. I read to dream.

I believe a man is born first unto himself--for the happy developing of
himself, while the world is a nursery, and the pretty things are to be
snatched for, and pleasant things tasted; some people seem to exist
thus right to the end. But most are born again on entering manhood;
then they are born to humanity, to a consciousness of all the laughing,
and the never-ceasing murmur of pain and sorrow that comes from the
terrible multitudes of brothers.
- D.H. Lawrence
When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth
and
love has always won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a
time
they can seem invincible. But in the end they always fall. Think of it,
always. - Mahatma (Mohandas Karamchand) Gandhi
The believer is happy; the doubter is wise. - Hungarian proverb
Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is
and not as it should be! - Miguel de Cervantes

intellect. - G. K. Chesterton
Donde hay fe hay amor, donde hay amor hay paz, donde hay paz está Dios
y donde está Dios no falta nada.
