And if we are not free, must we not hear the answer?
Gerry SpencePerhaps, the answer is that my ravaged mind rails against the idea of God, but something deeper in me calls out as if God might answer. 'There are not foxholes,' I guess, and depression is the deepest and deadliest foxhole I've been in.

This is the irrelevant answer, when another Evangelist says if America doesn't stop being selfish, it will be doomed. This is also a childish answer because nations are selfish and the question about America isn't whether we will be selfish or unselfish, but will we be sufficiently imaginative to pass the Reciprocal Trade Acts.

Something that keeps you awake nights, questioning your very existence." He thought for a second. "Clowns.
Sarah DessenIf you are building a thirty-story building and you use worm-eaten wood for the frame, inferior structural supports, and other fourth-rate, low-grade materials, what kind of finished product do you think you will wind up with?

I don't love the way I feel when I'm not.

This is my dream....this is my prayer. Love is the answer, love is the way. Love is the answer, love is the way.

I don't have a soul; I am an immortal soul. I've lived many lives and I'll live endlessly into the future, and as an immortal soul I have no gender.
Kate BornsteinIf the question were, "What ought to be the next objective in science?" my answer would be the teaching of science to the young, so that when the whole population grew up there would be a far more general background of common sense, based on a knowledge of the real meaning of the scientific method of discovering truth.

Vilmos ZsigmondIt appears to me that those who rely simply on the weight of authority to prove any assertion, without searching out the arguments to support it, act absurdly.
