| At my years, and with my disposition, or rather, constitution, one gets to care less and less for everything except downright good feeling. Life is so short, and so ridiculous and irrational (from a certain point of view) that one knows not what to make of it, unless—well, finish the sentence for yourself. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. letter, Mar. 31, 1877, to his brother-in-law, John C. Hoadley. Correspondence, vol. 14, The Writings of Herman Melville, ed. Lynn Horth (1993). ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| If an individual has a sufficient spiritual base, he won't let himself be overwhelmed by the lure of technology and by the madness of possession. He or she will know how to find the right balance, without asking for too much, and know how to say: I have a camera, that's enough, I don't want another. The constant danger is to open the door to greed, one of our most relentless enemies. It is here that the real work of the mind is put into practice. |

| Quote of the moment |
| As for satiety, Don Juan insists upon it, on the contrary. If he leaves a woman it is not absolutely because he has ceased to desire her. A beautiful woman is always desirable. But he desires another, and no, this is not the same thing. |
| ~ The Myth of Sisyphus, The Absurd Man, Don Jaunism, Albert Camus (1913 - 1960) ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| This is a strange little complacent country, in many ways a U.S.A. in miniature but of course nearer the center of disturbance! |
