| 609b7cf | Who knows? If there is in fact, a heaven and a hell, all we know for sure is that hell will be a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix -- a clean well lighted place full of sunshine and bromides and fast cars where almost everybody seems vaguely happy, except those who know in their hearts what is missing...

And, to render the whole we-should-worry-about-getting-enough-protein-and-therefore-eat-meat idea even more useless, other data suggests that excess animal protein intake is linked with osteoporosis, kidney disease, calcium stones in the urinary tract, and some cancers. Despite some persistent confusion, it is clear that ve.. | veganism vegetarianism meat health | Jonathan Safran Foer | |
| 352c98c | Is it wrong, wanting to be at home with your record collection? It's not like collecting records is like collecting stamps, or beermats, or antique thimbles. There's a whole world in here, a nicer, dirtier, more violent, more peaceful, more colorful, sleazier, more dangerous, more loving world than the world I live in; there is history, and geography, and poetry, and countless other things I should have studied at school, including music. | Nick Hornby | ||

Between them went musicians: and after these a lady in whose honour all this was being done. I cannot now rem.. | C.S. Lewis | ||
| 0688bf0 | We are always falling in love or quarreling, looking for jobs or fearing to lose them, getting ill and recovering, following public affairs. If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work.

Favorable conditions never come. | work inspiration education life knowledge | C.S. Lewis | |
| 6fd3d14 | When they asked some old Roman philosopher or other how he wanted to die, he said he would open his veins in a warm bath.

Banks | |
