With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me."

An individual human existence should be like a river — small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.
--- Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) was a British philosopher, mathematician, historian, writer, and Nobel laureate. _________________ Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be - Grandma Moses (1860 - 1961) |

I seldom went to bed before two or three o'clock in the morning, on the theory that if anything of interest were to happen to a young man it would almost certainly happen late at night. ~E. B. White _________________
