Entry 18

People speak of plague with fear and tremor, yet of destroyers like Alexander and Napoleon they speak with ecstatic reverence.
Kahlil Gibran

Some hear with their ears, some with their stomachs, some with their pockets; and some hear not at all.

Entry 17

Auri sacra fames-To what do you not drive the hearts of men, O cursed greed for gold!

Dum Spiro spero!-While I breathe I hope!

Gratia gratiam parit-Kindness begets kindness!

I gran dolori sono muti-Great sorrows have no tongue.

Di il vero e affrontetal il diavolo-Tell the truth and shame the devil.

Entry 16

As we've seen, a century and a quarter ago humanity was offered only two alternatives as far as our past was concerned: the Genesis Creation or the theory of evolution. Today there are two additional possibilities: either the bulk of evidence related to our terrestrial ancestry up until thirty thousand years ago was buried beneath the seas and oceans in Atlantean and similar catastrophes, or Homo sapien's evolution may have taken outside the earth's orbit.
John Phillip Cohane

So we come to our conclusions: that intelligences alien to that of physical human persons of the planet Earth exist; that they exist in forms both lower and higher than man; and that man should acknowledge their existence and attempt to comprehend and participate in their functioning, for such acknowledgement and effort will contribute to his further evolution.
Stuart Holroyd

The question of whether or not there exists in the universe a non-human non-physical, and non-terrestrial intelligence ultimately comes down to the question of whether God exists.
Stuart Holroyd

Now a new race descends from the celestial realm.
Virgil

Entry 15

Love all God's creation and every grain of sand in it. Love every leaf, every ray of God's light. If you love everything, you will preserve the divine mystery of things.
Dostoievsky

It is wrong for a man to say that he is certain of the objective truth of any proposition unless he can produce evidence which logically justifies that certainty.
Thomas Huxley

Art is the Tree of Life. Science is the Tree of Death. God is Jesus.
William Blake

The really hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. They are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental illness.
Aldous Huxley

Entry 14

All great issues are controversial.
George Seldes

We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon On The Mount.
Omar Bradley. Address, Armistice Day, 1948.

We must repudiate one of the two, either Christianity with its love of God and one's neighbor, or the state with its armies and wars.
Tolstoy

What a man thinks, that does he become.
Vedas

Intelligent beings from elsewhere in the universe may have---or have had---bases on the averted side of our moon.
Carl Sagan
