All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really
happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all
that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and
the bad, the ecstacy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places
and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to
people, then you are a writer. - Ernest Hemingway, born July, 21, 1899

ideas that diverge in the slightest form from the accepted platitudes,
and behind that drift of law there is a far more potent force of growing
custom, and under that custom there is a natural philosophy which erects
conformity into the noblest of virtues and the free functioning of
personality into a capital crime against society. - H. L. Mencken


Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere
in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. - Bill
Watterson
