jtvoorhees@gmail.com"My slumbers -- if I slumber -- are not sleep,
but a continuance of thought,
Which then I can resist not: in my heart
There is a vigil, and these eyes but close
To look within; and yet I live, and bear
The aspect and the form of breathing men."
-- George Gordon, Lord Byron, Manfred
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." -- The Gospel According to St. Matthew, King James Version
"What if it is a sickness? What does it matter if it is abnormal intensity, if the result, if the moment of awareness, remembered and analysed afterward in health, turns out to be the height of harmony and beauty, and gives an unheard-of and till then undreamed-of wholeness, of proportion, of reconciliation, and an ecstatic and prayerlike union in the highest synthesis of life?" -- Dostoevsky, The Idiot
"Some fellows always thought the grass was greener on the other side of the fence. Let them envy other people if they wanted to, but Shukhov knew what life was about. And he was not the kind who thought anybody owed him a living." -- Alexander Solzhenitsyn, A Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovitch
"Although only a few may originate a policy, we are all able to judge it." -- Pericles, For The Open Society
