Other Quotations


“We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact.”   -Tyler Derden (Fight Club)

"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heav'n of hell, a hell of heav'n." -Paradise Lost 1:254-255

"I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world." -Matthew 13:35

 "In a very real sense we are shipwrecked passengers on a doomed planet. Yet even in a shipwreck, human decencies and human values do not necessarily vanish, and we must make the most of them. We shall go down, but let it be in a manner to which we may look forward as worthy of our dignity."
- The Human Use of Human Beings: Cybernetics and Society by Norbert Wiener, pp. 40
