"Time, like money, is measured by our needs."

-- George Eliot

“American education has been littered with failed fads and foolish ideas for the past century.”
“You know, people speak in poetry all the time. They just don't realize it.”
“The world of imagination is the world of eternity.”
“The human race was in need of salvation because of the perversity of sin. For when people who are ill are cured from their illness, they are called "saved." Therefore, the Lord says: "Your faith has saved you.”
“People's hearts are like wild animals. They attach their selves to those that love and train them.”
“Global war is a clash of systems, not just battalions biffing one another in some godforsaken forest.”
“I understand that words can mean different things to different people, and, further, that people can have different relationships with complex abstract entities such as Buddhism. To me, anyway, the entity in my life that conflicts with my creativity is Buddhism.”
“It's how they've stayed popular for so long. By not doing anything that will make them look like fools. They never leave home without their safety nets and I think, good for them, but the thing with safety nets is this. I got tangled in them so many times and the Stella girls always seemed to leave me dangling, upside down, to the point where I almost couldn't breathe anymore.”
