Quote of the Day

[CaptHowdy]

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants. A. Whitney Brown

"Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together."

[Iroquois]

I wish I loved the human race,
I wish I loved its silly face,
I wish I loved the way it walks,
I wish I loved the way it talks,
And when I'm introduced to one,
I wish I though "What jolly fun!"

- Sir Walter Raleigh

[mark f]

How calmly does the olive branch
observe the sky begin to blanch:
without a cry, without a prayer;
with no betrayal of despair.

Sometime while light obscures the tree,
the zenith of its life will be:
gone, past, forever.
And from thence, a second history will commence:

a chronicle no longer gold,
of bargaining with mist and mold;
and finally the broken stem,
the plummeting to earth, and then

An intercourse not well designed
for beings of a golden kind
whose native green must arch above
the Earth's obscene, corrupting love.

And still the ripe fruit and the branch
observe the sky begin to blanch:
without a cry, without a prayer;
with no betrayal of despair.

Oh, courage! Could you not as well
select a second place to dwell?
Not only in that golden tree
but in the frightened heart of me?

- Tennessee Williams, The Night of the Iguana, spoken by Nonno

[Silas]

All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger
12th August 1887 - 4th January 1961
Austrian/Irish Theoretical Physicist in the field of Quantum Mechanics
1933 Nobel Prize for Physics
Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrodinger)
Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger was an Austrian - Irish physicist who achieved fame for his contributions to quantum mechanics, especially the Schrödinger equation, for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1933. In 1935, he proposed the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment.

The Paradox of Schrödinger's Cat.
http://parlezuml.com/blog/bblog/images/content/schrodingers_cat.jpg
Schrodinger asked us to imagine a cat in a box. Completely at random - in Schrodinger's version, when a nucleus of a radioactive isotope decays - poisonous gas is released into the box that kills the cat. We cannot see inside, and we cannot know if the gas has been released. We do not if the cat, at any specific moment, is alive or dead. In the quantum world, the cat is both alive and dead simultaneously - but only while we can't see it. As soon as we remove the lid of the box and observe the cat, the superposition of probabilities collapses into a single reality, and the cat is found to alive or dead.

"Nirvana is a state of pure blissful knowledge... It has nothing to do with the individual. The ego or its separation is an illusion. Indeed in a certain sense two "I"'s are identical namely when one disregards all special contents — their Karma. The goal of man is to preserve his Karma and to develop it further... when man dies his Karma lives and creates for itself another carrier."

"No self is of itself alone. It has a long chain of intellectual ancestors. The "I" is chained to ancestry by many factors ... This is not mere allegory, but an eternal memory."

"Consciousness is never experienced in the plural, only in the singular. Not only has none of us ever experienced more than one consciousness, but there is also no trace of circumstantial evidence of this ever happening anywhere in the world. If I say that there cannot be more than one consciousness in the same mind, this seems a blunt tautology — we are quite unable to imagine the contrary..."

"Again, the mystics of many centuries, independently, yet in perfect harmony with each other (somewhat like the particles in an ideal gas) have described, each of them, the unique experience of his or her life in terms that can be condensed in the phrase: DEUS FACTUS SUM (I have become God)."

"Science cannot tell us a word about why music delights us, of why and how an old song can move us to tears."

"To Western ideology, the thought has remained a stranger... in spite of those true lovers who, as they look into each other's eyes, become aware that their thought and their joy are numerically one, not merely similar or identical..."

"Thus you can throw yourself flat on the ground, stretched out upon Mother Earth, with certain conviction that you are one with her and she with you ... For eternally and always there is only now, one and the same now; the present is the only thing that has no end."

"Matter and energy seem granular in structure, and so does 'life', but not so mind."

"Nature has no reverence towards life. Nature treats life as though it were the most valueless thing in the world.... Nature does not act by purposes."

"I am born into an environment — I know not whence I came nor whither I go nor who I am. This is my situation as yours, every single one of you. The fact that everyone always was in this same situation, and always will be, tells me nothing. Our burning question as to the whence and whither — all we can ourselves observe about it is the present environment. That is why we are eager to find out about it as much as we can. That is science, learning, knowledge; it is the true source of every spiritual endeavour of man. We try to find out as much as we can about the spatial and temporal surroundings of the place in which we find ourselves put by birth…"

"I consider it extremely doubtful whether the happiness of the human race has been enhanced by the technical and industrial developments that followed in the wake of rapidly progressing natural science."

"For a solitary animal egoism is a virtue that tends to preserve and improve the species: in any kind of community it becomes a destructive vice."

"Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe."

"The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists."

"What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space."

"If you cannot - in the long run - tell everyone what you have been doing, your doing has been worthless."

"Every man's world picture is and always remains a construct of his mind and cannot be proved to have any other existence."

"The idea of the continuum seems simple to us. We have somehow lost sight of the difficulties it implies...We are told such a number as square root of 2 worried Pythagoras and his school almost to exhaustion. Being used to such queer numbers from early childhood, we must be careful not to form a low idea of the mathematical intuition of these ancient sages, their worry was highly credible."

http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/wpr0115l.jpg

"The task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what no one has yet thought, about that which everybody sees."

“This life of yours, which you are living, is not merely a piece of this entire existence, but in a certain sense the ‘whole’; only this whole is not so constituted that it can be surveyed in one single glance."

The same stream of life
that runs through my veins
runs through the world
and dances in rhythmic measure.

It is the same life that shoots in joy
through the dust of the earth
into numberless blades of grass
and breaks into tumultuous waves
of leaves and flowers.

It is the same life
that is rocked in the ocean
cradle of birth and death
in ebb and flow.

I feel my limbs are made glorious
by the touch of this world of life
and my pride is from the life throb of ages
dancing in my blood this moment.

~ Rabindranath Tagore ~

The love of wilderness is more

it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth ...
the only home we shall ever know,
the only paradise we ever need --
if only we had the eyes to see.

“Paganism is wholesome because it faces the facts of life.”

“If one were to take the bible seriously one would go mad. But to take the bible seriously, one must be already mad.”

“The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.”

“I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.”

“Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another”

“I was asked to memorise what I did not understand; and, my memory being so good, it refused to be insulted in that manner.”

“Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.”

“Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales.”

“In the absence of will-power the most complete collection of virtues and talents is wholly worthless.”

“every man and woman is a star”

“The supreme satisfaction is to be able to despise one's neighbor and this fact goes far to account for religious intolerance. It is evidently consoling to reflect that the people next door are headed for hell.”

“Indubitably, Magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics.”

“The pious pretense that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing.”

“The people who have really made history are the martyrs.”

“Roughly speaking, any man with energy and enthusiasm ought to be able to bring at least a dozen others round to his opinion in the course of a year no matter how absurd that opinion might be. We see every day in politics, in business, in social life, large masses of people brought to embrace the most revolutionary ideas, sometimes within a few days. It is all a question of getting hold of them in the right way and working on their weak points.”

“To the eyes of a god, mankind must appear as a species of bacteria which multiply and become progressively virulent whenever they find themselves in a congenial culture, and whose activity diminishes until they disappear completely as soon as proper measures are taken to sterilize them.”

“It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence; that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair.”

“Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.”

“Part of the public horror of sexual irregularity so-called is due to the fact that everyone knows himself essentially guilty.”

“The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.”

“To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.”

“To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all. A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honorable to which a man can be called?”

“Love stories are only fit for the solace of people in the insanity of puberty. No healthy adult human being can really care whether so-and-so does or does not succeed in satisfying his physiological uneasiness by the aid of some particular person or not.”

“When one walks, one is brought into touch first of all with the essential relations between one's physical powers and the character of the country; one is compelled to see it as its natives do. Then every man one meets is an individual. One is no longer regarded by the whole population as an unapproachable and uninteresting animal to be cheated and robbed.”

“I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff.”

“Religion itself becomes offensively monotonous. On every point of vantage are pagodas --stupid stalagmites of stagnant piety.”

People who have what they want are fond

Maybe I couldn't be dafter,
But I keep wondering if this

there has never been an era when so

"When life passes you by, look not on the wrong and the bad and the hatred and the malice, but look to the just and the good and the love and the forgiveness, for the life you live is merely one, and in that one you must find solace in the caring hands that embrace you, not the ones that tear away your path to life, you must try and live, before the story of your life runs out of chapters."

(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000331/)Dr. Farthing (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000331/): What I don't understand is... when you owe a bookie a lot of money, and he, say, blows off one of your toes, you still owe him the money.

Our ancestors viewed the earth as rich and bountiful, which it is.
Many people in the past also saw nature as inexhaustibly sustainable,
which we know is the case only if we care for it.
It is not difficult to forgive destruction in the past that resulted from ignorance.
Today, however, we have access to more information,
and it is essential that we re-examine ethically what we have inherited,
what we are responsible for, and what we will pass on to coming generations.

Tom Catlin, one of the more indomitable figures in Seahawks history, has passed away after a long illness. An All-American center at Oklahoma, Catlin played mostly for the Cleveland Browns during a five year NFL career in the 1950s. People associated with the Seahawks for any length of time might remember "Tomcat" as the finest defensive coordinator in the team's 32-year history. He served during the Chuck Knox years and into the mid-1990s.

"He was the best coach I ever had. The thing about Tom was that he would put in a defense on the board and he was very calm, very, very dry. He did have some humor, but he was a very dry guy, not a lot of words. He would say, 'Let me put this up and install it. Save your questions to the end.' I can think of twice, maybe, where there was a question at the end because he was such a great teacher. I was proud; I was one of the only guys to ask a question. He said, 'Good question.' That was my proudest moment in the NFL."

Dave Wyman, Seattle Seahawks 1987-1992

R.I.P. Tom you were by far the very best defensive coach to ever come down the pike in our little 'berg'. It may in fact be an even greater tribute to the kind of man he was when I tell you that I can not find a single quote from the man. I think Dave Wyman above may have said it best.

Congratulations! You're not perfect! It's ridiculous to want to be perfect anyway. But then, everybody's ridiculous sometimes, except perfect people. You know what perfect is? Perfect is not eating or drinking or talking or moving a muscle or making even the teensiest mistake. Perfect is never doing anything wrong - which means never doing anything at all. Perfect is boring! So you're not perfect! Wonderful! Have fun! Eat things that give you bad breath! Trip over your own shoelaces! Laugh! Let somebody else laugh at you! Perfect people never do any of those things. All they do is sit around and sip weak tea and think about how perfect they are. But they're really not one-hundred-percent perfect anyway. You should see them when they get the hiccups! Phooey! Who needs 'em? You can drink pickle juice and imitate gorillas and do silly dances and sing stupid songs and wear funny hats and be as imperfect as you please and still be a good person.

We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way. ~ Viktor Frankl

[Mrs. Darcy]

Said the little boy, "Sometimes I drop my spoon."
Said the little old man, "I do that too."
The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants."
"I do too," laughed the old man.
Said the little boy, "I often cry."
The old man nodded. "So do I."
"But worst of all," said the boy, "it seems
Grown-ups don't pay attention to me."
And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand.
"I know what you mean," said the little old man.

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion love actually is all around.

"When I was a small boy growing up in Kansas, a friend of mine and I went fishing and as we sat there in the warmth of a summer afternoon on a riverbank we talked about what we wanted to do when we grew up.
