The perils of
ambulatory reading. If you have never said "Excuse me" to a
parking meter or bashed your shins on a fireplug, you are probably wasting too
much valuable reading time.

[sometimes] wonder how there can be people silly enough to believe that only
Catholics will be saved. As though the Holy Spirit were up there, singling out
the Catholics or possibly the Christians, to breathe on them and only them...
No! Wherever in the world there are human creatures hungering and thirsting to
love and help, trying to overcome self-centredness,
escaping from self, caring for their neighbours,
listening to the voice of conscience, striving to do good,
the Spirit of God is with them. I love the Lord's words: 'Many will come from
the East and from the West...' In the Father's house we shall meet Buddhists
and Jews, Moslems and Protestants - even a few Catholics too, I dare say.

John W. Campbell (1910-1971) American

The myth is the public domain and the dream
is the private myth. If your private myth, your dream, happens to coincide with
that of the society, you are in good accord with your group. If it isn't,
you've got a long adventure in the dark forest ahead of you.

If there is a sin against life, it consists

A writer must simultaneously believe the
following two things:
1. The story I am now working on is the greatest
work of genius ever written in English.
2. The story I am now working on is worthless

...Of course, believing two contradictory facts
at the same time is sometimes referred to as madness, but that, too, can be an
asset to a writer.

Here's the secret that every successful software

How about "just be yourself, and the
people who like you will like you for who you really are, and not who you are
pretending to be"? You should be polite to the others because we need more
politeness, but otherwise they can just go screw themselves with a

In some cases, all it requires is that you
rationally point out that there is a problem. In others, all you can do is turn

to eat it.

To put it bluntly, if we lived in a universe
where all things were decided by God, and "free will" were nothing
but a polite lie, then the universe would be nothing but masturbatory exercises
of the Almighty, pre-scripted and acted out by the well-trained monkey people
led about by "God's Will". I choose to not accept this possibility,
since the universe would then have no purpose that could possibly interest me.

The most important thing in life is not

is to profit from your losses. That requires intelligence, and makes the

One day Alice came to a
fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. "Which road do I

As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame,
I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human
life -- so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can

Matt Cartmill (b. 1943) American biological anthropologist
If biologists don't want to see the theory
of evolution evicted from the public schools because of its religious content,
they need to accept the limitations of science and stop trying to draw vast,

cardinal virtue in Christian doctrine; it's also a virtue in the practice of
science.

Don't be vain because you happen to have

Pablo Casals (1876-1973) Spanish cellist, conductor, composer "Salute to Life" (1969)
Each second we live in a new and unique
moment of the universe, a moment that never was before and will never be again.
And what do we teach our children in school? We teach them that two and two
make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach
them what they are? You should say to each of them: Do you know what you are?
You are unique. In all the world there is no other child exactly like you. In
the millions of years that have passed there has never been a child like you.
And look at your body--what a wonder it is! Your legs, your arms, your cunning
fingers, the way you move! You may be a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a
Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel.

in my line of business I am obliged to will terribly what I will at all.
Catherine II (1762-1796) Russian
empress [Catherine the Great]
Letter to Baron F. M. Grimm (1878)
Alas and alack, for the progress and pride of
modern technology has turned the infinite majesty and mystery of the starry
void to a cup of purplish grey,
reflecting our own dingy, dusty glow back upon ourselves. In fact - and how had
I not noticed before? - the yard itself was given such an un-Christmaslike “lustre of midday”
(there was no moon, nor new-fallen snow) that I felt, had I wished, I could
have seen clearly enough to unlock the combination on the shed door. I am certain that this enforced cloak of
blindness is the major reason for the deplorable and irresponsible apathy or
outright hostility of the average citizen toward the exploration and opening of
the frontiers of space. I am convinced that if the people of Earth were given
the chance to look - that when we convince ourselves that it is worth looking,
and take back the birthright that we voluntarily surrendered - the birthright
to look and dream - to see the Milky Way as anything but a dim cloud - then
we’ll be more than halfway toward claiming the galaxy as our next frontier and
surmounting it. And then I’ll be able
to see the stars from the other side of the atmosphere.

Carthage must be destroyed.
Cato
the Elder, at the end of
every speech
I have lived nearly fifty years, and I have seen life as it is.
Pain, misery, hunger... cruelty beyond belief. I have heard the singing from
taverns and the moans from bundles of filth on the streets. I have been a
soldier and seen my comrades fall in battle... or die more slowly under the
lash in Africa. I have held them in my arms at the final moment. These were men
who saw life as it is, yet they died despairing. No glory, no gallant last
words... only their eyes filled with confusion, whimpering the question: “Why?”
I do not think they asked why they were dying, but why they had lived. When life
itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical
is madness. To surrender dreams - this may be madness. To seek treasure where
there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see
life as it is and not as it should be.

Ilka Chase (1905-1978) American actress, writer quoted in Cooper & Hartman,
"Mrs. Crankhurst" (1980)
The theater is a baffling business, and a
shockingly wasteful one when you consider that people who have proven their
worth, who have appeared in or been responsible for successful plays, who have
given outstanding performances, can still, in the full tide of their energy, be
forced, through lack of opportunity, to sit idle season after season, their
enthusiasm, their morale, their very talent dwindling to slow gray death. Of
finances we will not even speak; it is too sad a tale.

I believe what really happens in history is this: the
old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is
wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the old man
may stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some
theory that turns out to be equally stupid.

Chesterton (1874-1936) English journalist and writer Charles
Dickens, Ch. 11 (1906)
The wise old fairy tales never were so silly
as to say that the prince and the princess lived peacefully ever afterwards.
The fairy tales said that the prince and the princess lived happily, and so
they did. They lived happily, although it is very likely that from time to time
they threw the furniture at each other. Most marriages, I think, are happy
marriages; but there is no such thing as a contented marriage. The whole
pleasure of marriage is that it is a perpetual crisis.

The dispute that goes on between Macbeth and

Chesterton (1874-1936) English journalist and writer The
Defendant, “Defence of Patriotism” (1901)
The one really rousing thing about human
history is that, whether or no the proceedings go right, at any rate, the
prophecies always go wrong. The promises are never fulfilled and the threats
are never fulfilled. Even when good things do happen, they are never the good
things that were guaranteed. And even when bad things happen, they are never
the bad things that were inevitable. You may be quite certain that, if an old
pessimist says the country is going to the dogs, it will go to any other
animals except the dogs; if it be to the dromedaries or even the dragons. ...
It was as if one weather prophet confidently predicted blazing sunshine and the

If you
will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come
to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and
only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may

God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in
the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.” You ask,
What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory—victory at all costs,
victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be;
for without victory there is no survival.

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and

odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the
end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall
fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend
our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall
fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do
not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and
starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British
Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world,
with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of
the old.

What
General Weygand called the “Battle of France” is over. I expect that the Battle
of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of
Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life and the long
continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the
enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break
us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him all Europe may be
free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands; but
if we fail then the whole world, including the United States, and all that we
have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more
sinister, and perhaps more prolonged, by the lights of a perverted science. Let
us therefore brace ourselves to our duty, and so bear ourselves that, if the British
Commonwealth and its Empire lasts for a thousand years, men will still say,
“This was their finest hour.”
