The silence that guards the tomb does not reveal God's secret in the
obscurity of the coffin, and the rustling of the branches whose roots suck the body's elements do not tell the mysteries of
the grave, by the agonized sighs of my heart announce to the living the drama which love, beauty, and death have performed.
-Kahlil Gibran
However long the night, the dawn will break.
-African Proverb
People get so in the habit of worry that if you save
them from drowning and put them on a bank to dry in the sun with hot chocolate and muffins, they wonder whether they are catching
cold" - John Jay Chapman
When they took the 4th Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal
drugs. When they took the 6th Amendment, I was quiet because I am innocent. When they took the 2nd Amendment, I was quiet
because I don't own a gun. Now they have taken the 1st Amendment, and I can only be quiet.

"I have studied many times the marble which was chiseled for me. A boat
with a furled sail at rest in a harbor. In truth it pictures not my destination, but my life. For love was offered me and
I shrank from itsdisillusionment, sorrow knocked on my door, but I was afraid, ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances,
yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life. And now I know that we must lift the sail and catch the winds of destiny
wherever they drive the boat. To put meaning in one's life may end in madness, but life without meaning is the torture of
restlessness and vague desire. It is a boat longing for the sea and yet
afraid." -- Edgar Lee Masters
