All the Secrets of the Universe and Some Really Important Stuff Too!
I’ve always liked the play and the movies of “Cyrano de Bergerac” so I’m indulging myself with a few quotes from Rostand.
“My soul, be satisfied with flowers, with fruit, with weeds even; but gather them in the one garden you may call your own.” (from Cyrano de Bergerac)
Edmond Rostand

“Proclaim your pride and bitterness loudly to the world, but to me speak softly, and tell me simply that she doesn’t love you.” (from Cyrano de Bergerac)

“Lord, what fools these mortals be!”
William Shakespeare
“Tis the times’ plague, when madmen lead the blind.”
William Shakespeare
Ain’t it the truth.
“Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, Shall win my love.”
William Shakespeare
“There’s a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will.”
William Shakespeare
“Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper,
Thy head, thy sovereign; one that cares for thee,
And for thy maintenance commits his body
To painful labour both by sea and land,
To watch the night in storms, the day in cold,
Whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe;
And craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love, fair looks and true obedience;
Too little payment for so great a debt.”
William Shakespeare
I quote this to Camera Girl often but she just laughs and laughs.
“The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, A goodly apple rotten at the heart. O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!”
William Shakespeare
It’s Ayn Rand week at the Quote of the Day. Rand has fallen seriously out of fashion due to libertarianism’s current unpopularity. But I think she has made several valuable points. See what you think.
“The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.”

“The goal of the ‘liberals’ – as it emerges from the record of the past decades – was to smuggle this country into welfare statism by means of single, concrete, specific measures, enlarging the power of the government a step at a time, never permitting these steps to be summed up into principles, never permitting their direction to be identified or the basic issue to be named. Thus, statism was to come, not by vote or by violence, but by slow rot – by a long process of evasion and epistemological corruption, leading to a fait accompli.”
