“People can lose their lives in libraries. They ought to be warned.” SAUL BELLOW
“The Religion then of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man; and it is the right of every man to exercise it as these may dictate. This right is in its nature an unalienable right. It is unalienable, because the opinions of men, depending only on the evidence contemplated by their own minds cannot follow the dictates of other men: It is unalienable also, because what is here a right towards men, is a duty towards the Creator. It is the duty of every man to render to the Creator such homage and such only as he believes to be acceptable to him.”

“The bustle in a house
The morning after death
Is solemnest of industries
Enacted upon earth,--
The sweeping up the heart,
And putting love away
We shall not want to use again
Until eternity”

“Deep breathing is one way you can voluntarily stimulate your own vagus nerve. Try it now. Take a deep diaphragmatic breath by imagining you are inflating the lower portion of your lungs near your belly button like a balloon, followed by a gradual exhalation as you pull in your belly button. Aim to inhale through your nose this way for a count of three, then exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of 7. .......You are on your way to enhancing the quality of your life.”
