    "I know but one freedom, and that is the freedom of the mind."

    "Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them."

    Antoine de Saint-Exupery

    "Hence, love, deserved respect, and forgiveness seem to be equally important to the freedom from the pressure to obey the rules just because they are commonly accepted."

    Richard David Bach

    "Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night;
    God said, "Let Newton be", and all was light"

    "Where Wigs with Wigs, with Sword-knots Sword-knots strive,
    Beaus banish Beaus, and Coaches Coaches drive"

    both by Pope, latter in Rape of the Lock.

    I guess I like 'interesting' word combinations. Among my favorite writers are Dylan Thomas, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Pope, and Edward Dalhberg.

    Good thread by the way.

    Two from the master:


    Were I to be angered at the stupidity of humankind, I would spend the whole of my life in a state of chronic ire.

    Love may make the world go round but it`s money that greases the axle.


    W.S. Maugham

    The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, the public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.

    Cicero-55 B.C.
