Wave after wave, each mightier than the last,Till last, a ninth one, gathering half the deepAnd full of voices, slowly rose and plungedRoaring, and all the wave was in a flame:And down the wave and in the flame was borneA naked babe...~ Alfred, Lord Tennyson in Idylls of the King ~ I sometimes hold it half a sinTo put in words the grief I feel;For words, like Nature, half revealAnd half conceal the Soul within.~ Alfred, Lord Tennyson ~ "I will make company with creators, with harvesters, with rejoicers; I will show them the rainbow and the stairway to the Superman." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra "Physics isn't the most important thing. Love is." ~ Richard Feynman "Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight— always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?" ~ J. M. Barrie Wikiqoute Quote of the day for the 100th anniversary of the first public performance of Peter Pan. "There isn't anyone anywhere that isn't Seymour's Fat Lady. Don't you know that?

D. Salinger "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." ~ Yeshua (Jesus Christ) I danced in the morningWhen the world was begun,And I danced in the moonAnd the stars and the sun,And I came down from heavenAnd I danced on the earth,At BethlehemI had my birth.Dance, then, wherever you may be,I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he.~ Sydney Carter ~ 'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,And when we find ourselves in the place just right,'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.~ Joseph Brackett ~ Good fortune attend each merry man's friendThat doth but the best that he may,Forgetting old wrongs with carols and songsTo drive the cold winter away.~ "All Hail to The Days" (or "The Praise of Christmas") ~Traditional 17th century English carol "i who have died am alive again today, and this is the sun's birthday..." ~ e. e. cummings "The dark night of the soul comes just before revelation.
