Robert A. HeinleinI have become a giant fan of the testing process, especially with a comedy. I mean, they tell you what's funny.

And there isn't really anything else.

Nikki GiovanniReligion is not based on belief or faith: religion is based on awe, religion is based on wonder. Religion is based on the mysterious that is your surround. To feel it, to be aware of it, to see it, open your eyes and drop the dust of the ages. Clean your mirror! and see what beauty surrounds you, what tremendous grandeur goes on knocking at your doors.
