David Halberstam: Bart Giamatti...

Bart Giamatti did not grow up (as he had dreamed) to play second base for the Red Sox. He became a professor at Yale, and then, in time ... president of the National Baseball League. He never lost his love for the Boston Red Sox. It was as a Red Sox fan, he later realized that human beings are fallen, and that life is filled with disappointment. The path to comprehending Calvinism in modern America, he decided, begins at Fenway Park.
/David Halberstam/

/Prem Rawal/

Murray N. Rothbard: If a...

If a man has the right to self-ownership, to the control of his life, then in the real world he must also have the right to sustain his life by grappling with and transforming resources; he must be able to own the ground and the resources on which he stands and which he must use. In short, to sustain his human right-or his property rights in his own person-he must also have the property right in the material world, in the objects which he produces.
/Murray N. Rothbard/

The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence.
/Thomas Wolfe/

Margaret Mahy: By the...

By the time ordinary life asserted itself once more, I would feel I had already lived for a while in some other lifetime, that I had even taken over someone else's life.
/Margaret Mahy/

Soren Kierkegaard: Not even...

Not even a suicide does away with himself out of desperation, he considers the act so long and so deliberately, that he kills himself with thinking - one could barely call it suicide since it is thinking which takes his life. He does not kill himself with deliberation but rather kills himself because of deliberation.
/Soren Kierkegaard/

/George Wald/

Robert G. Ingersoll: He who...

He who sleeps here, when dying, mistaking the approach of death for the return of health, whispered with his latest breath, I am better now. Let us believe, in spite of doubts and dogmas, of fears and tears, that these dear words are true of all the countless dead.<br>The record of a generous life runs like a vine around the memory of our dead, and every sweet, unselfish act is now a perfumed flower.
/Robert G. Ingersoll/

There's the classic charitable contribution, which we receive thousands, and we're extremely grateful and they often come with notes from people, which are very heartwarming, about how much difference our products have made in their life on the Internet.
