Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
Marcus Aurelius

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.
Marcus Aurelius

Every man is also responsible for all the good he didn't do.

- Oscar Wilde

HARDCABB: "...The attempt by Democritus and Newton [and here Dawkins] to quiet our fears and give us back our dispossessed world has only served to make us feel even more dispossessed - and we are right back where we started, just as frightened and crazy as people were at the disintegration of the Ancient and the Medieval worlds. Fortunately, some psychiatrists are beggining to talk about the importance of the problem of meaning in mental illness, and are no longer looking with scorn at the priests. The problem of man in society today is exactly at the point where Judeo-Christianity picked it up at the demise of the Ancient world: namely, how to give back to each individual life the deep sense that it had universal moral significance.
