a really good friend was noting the behavior of my ex wife. Suddenly she became spiritual. He labeled it whipped cream on dog shit. No matter how she paints it, it's still shit

I'd rather have questions I can't answer than answers I can't question. (had this for years and forgot to cite author, my apologies)
A bad man is worse when he pretends to be a saint.- Bacon
One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education. The second way of enslaving people is to suppress the source of information, not only by burning books but by controlling all the ways in which ideas are transmitted. - 5-11-1943 Eleanor Roosevelt
Where there is no joy there can be no courage.
Patience is not passive: on the contrary it is active; it is concentrated strength.

j.r.r. tolkienIn the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst.
In the name of the vaues that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by
the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless who have never achieved his title. do not lose your
knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind, and a step
that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your spark go out, spark by irreplacable spark, in the
hopeless sparks of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the
hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been
able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. the world you desired can be
won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
