| Quote of the moment |
| Plain living and high thinking are no more. The homely beauty of the good old cause Is gone; our peace, our fearful innocence, And pure religion breathing household laws. |

| Quote of the moment |
| The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate only what crushes it. But happiness likewise, in its way, is without reason, since it is inevitable. Modern man, however, takes the credit for it himself, when he doesn't fail to recognize it. |
| ~ The Myth of Sisyphus, Appendix, Hope and the Absurd in the Work of Franz Kafka, Albert Camus (1913 - 1960) ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| One of the roles of beer about this time [1650's] was that of consoling those in distress or trouble. Hugh Latimer had a goblet of spiced ale with his supper the night before he was burned alive, while Mary Queen of Scots, who was partial to the brown beer of Burton-on-Trent, had supplies of this excellent brew sent to her during her long captivity at Fotheringay. It helped her to pass the days until her execution in 1587. Sir Walter Raleigh, on the morning of his execution in 1618, treated himself to a cool tankard and a soothing pipe of tobacco. |
| ~John Watney, 1974 ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| This is terrific, Nelson's Column has gone, McDonald's has gone, all that's left is me and the words Mostly Harmless. Any second now all that will be left is Mostly Harmless. And yesterday the planet seemed to be going so well. |
| ~ Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy ~ |
