Stephen ColbertLast night, we did the Threatdown -- God, it's hard to even talk about this -- and for the first time, I didn't mention bears. It's winter, they're asleep, I didn't think it would be a problem. But today I see this in the Toronto Globe and Mail -- apparently a 700-pound polar bear showed up at a children's hockey game.

It grows in the Arctic Circle and in the balmiest tropics; it also grows on the fur of sloths, on the backs of snails, on decaying human bones. ... It is a resurrection engine.

Elizabeth GilbertPhilosophy can be compared to some powders that are so corrosive that, after they have eaten away the infected flesh of a wound, they then devour the living flesh, rot the bones, and penetrate to the very marrow.

And when it is left on its own, it goes so far that it no longer knows where it is and can find no stopping place.

William L. ShirerBut I believe the words entered me and changed me and still work in me. The words eat me and sustain me.

Charles FrazierWe are guilty of many errors and many faults, But our worst crime is abandoning the children, Neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot.

We can only speak of the things we carried with us, and the things we took away.
