quote:
Ah Love! could thou and I with Fate conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire
Would not we shatter it to bits - and then
Remould it nearer to the Heart's desire?

From The Rubáiyát of Omár Khayyám, translated by Fitzgerald.

quote:
To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation.
Yann Martel, in Life of Pi

quote:
I remember a post card you sent me written in Norwegian with an Italian translation at the bottom, it said "everything that exists ie beautiful" followed by three exclamation points, do you still believe that?

I no longer believe in exclamation points.

quoted from memory of The Best of Youth, one of the greatest films ever.

quote:
quid homini dari potest maius quum gloria, laus, et aeternitas
or
What more can be given to a man than glory, praise and eternity?

Pliny the Younger, reflecting that Martial gift of poems dedicated to him was greater than his gift of cash.

quote:
Just as a target is not set up in order to be missed, so neither does the nature
of evil exist in the world.

quote:
Only the educated are free
Epictetus, in the Enchiridion

oh well, no rule saying we can't have two, especially since one is old and unused. If we were to require originality, nothing would get posted.

I think that aiua was suggesting that you post to the old thread, thus reviving it.

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Than do not be too eager in dealing death.
