Sybil Adelman


I thought I loved him, but I really just needed him. There was so much death and when I was in bed with him, I wasn't thinking about death...Look, what I'm trying to say is that we can't know what's in another person's heart, we can't even know what's in our own. Life turns on a dime, and somehow we muddle through.

Albert Einstein

Benjamin Franklin

Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker

Blaise Pascal

Miguel de Cervantes


There is a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us out flat some time or other.

from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Translation by Edward Fitzgerald)


You know, my Friends, with what a brave Carouse
I made a Second Marriage in my house;
Divorced old barren Reason from my Bed,
And took the Daughter of the Vine to Spouse.

For "Is" and "Is-not" though with Rule and Line
And "Up-and-down" by Logic I define,
Of all that one should care to fathom, I
Was never deep in anything but - Wine.

Oliver Wendell Holmes


Every pursuit is great when greatly pursued.

In conclusion, there is a marvelous anecdote from the occasion of Russell's ninetieth birthday that best serves to summarize his attitude toward God and religion. A London lady sat next to him at this party, and over the soup she suggested to him that he was not only the world's most famous atheist but, by this time, very probably the world's oldest atheist. 'What will you do, Bertie, if it turns out you're wrong' she asked. 'I mean, what if--uh--when the time comes, you should meet Him What will you say' Russell was delighted with the question. His birght, birdlike eyes grew even brighter as he contempalated this possible future dialogue, and then he pointed a finger upward and cried, 'Why, I should say, 'God, you gave us insufficient evidence.' '

Henri-Fr�d�ric Amiel (1856)


The man who insists upon seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, never decides. Accept life, and you must accept regret.
