A while ago, I wrote a blog entry about the universe being so big and yet so small, that we always seem to reach a limit on how far we can see and how small we can see. Just when we begin to comprehend that the universe has an end somewhere out there we come up with parallel universes. Now there are more of them. Just when we begin to comprehend that the big bang was the theoretical beginning o... Read more of this blog post »

“...people in love always find a way...”
David J. Kirk

“People always ask me that, how it feels to be an orphan. I don't know. I want to ask them how it feels to have a family.”
David J. Kirk, Particular Stones

“[Mr. Principi] "My question to you, class, is our species crawling toward re-enlightenment or limping toward extinction?"

The smart aleck behind me. . . was threatened by my propensity to fight when he should have been afraid of Mr. Principi's question.”
David J. Kirk, Particular Stones

“I got the sense of it, because Dan's eyes are not so much as those of a young boy, but there's knowledge in his perspective.”
Sandra Perez Gluschankoff

“Certain parts of your life, Dan, are directed by an almost desperate passion. Playwrights call it ends-of-the-earth type stuff. And it's good stuff.”
David J. Kirk, Particular Stones

“The search for lost things is hindered by routine habits, and that is why it is so difficult to find them.”
Abby Slovin, Letters In Cardboard Boxes

“If you have a high evaluation of yourself then your ability to recognize new facts is weakened.”
Robert M. Pirsig

“It is hard indeed to notice anything for which the languages available to us have no description.”
Alan Wilson Watts
