    Misquoted, yes. it should be noted that once a thought finds its way into the world it takes on a life of its own.

    quidve dolens, regina deum tot volvere casus
    insignem pietate virum, tot adire labores

    I'm not such a huge fan of Mark Steyn, but I do find his sense of humour very nice.

    Quote
    "Most mainline Protestant churches are, to one degree or another, post-Christian. If they no longer seem disposed to converting the unbelieving to Christ, they can at least convert them to the boggiest of soft-left clichés, on the grounds that if Jesus were alive today he’d most likely be a gay Anglican bishop in a committed relationship driving around in an environmentally friendly car with an “Arms are for Hugging” sticker on the way to an interfaith dialogue with a Wiccan and a couple of Wahhabi imams."

    "We've tended in our cosmologies to make things familiar. Despite all our best efforts, we've not been very inventive. In the West, Heaven is placid and fluffy, and Hell is like the inside of a volcano. In many stories, both realms are governed by dominance hierarchies headed by gods or devils. Monotheists talked about the king of kings. In every culture we imagined something like our own political system running the Universe. Few found the similarity suspicious."

    "This castle of inner truth will destroy many people; it is a cheap thing, mostly despised and even hated. But one should not hate it, but rather love it; it is the greatest treasure, it is loving to everybody and hostile to everybody. You can find it everywhere and practically nobody has ever found it. Change yourself, the heavenly wisdom says, from dead philosophical stones into living philosophical stones, because I am the true medicine and I change everything which cannot exist into something eternal. Why are you possessed by madness? Through yourself but not from you, is everything which you need and which you wrongly seek outside."

    "The Buddhists say there are 149 ways to God. I'm not looking for God, only for myself, and that is far more complicated. God has had a great deal written about Him; nothing has been written about me. God is bigger, like my mother, easier to find, even in the dark. I could be anywhere, and since I can't describe myself I can't ask for help."

Sister Priscilla didn't think it was mean, apparently.

    A quote by Ayaan Hirsi Ali on her criticism of cultural relativism:

    Quote
    I took notice of this when I was a member of the Labour Party in the Netherlands and I would talk about the position of Muslim women in the Netherlands. And so many of the enlightened liberal people around me would respond by saying, "But we've got to respect their culture." And when we talked about the specifics of what it was that we had to respect, it boiled down to forced marriages, honour killings, female genital mutilation, the forced veiling of women — I'm not talking about those who choose to do it, but those who are forced to do it. We would ignore all of this, do nothing about it and the only rationalisation that these people could give me — and these were people in power — was to say, "But we've got to respect their culture."

    This is beautiful!

    Ann Druyan about her late husband, Carl Sagan:

    "When my husband died, because he was so famous and known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me-it still sometimes happens-and ask me if Carl changed at the end and converted to a belief in an afterlife. They also frequently ask me if I think I will see him again.

    Carl faced his death with unflagging courage and never sought refuge in illusions. The tragedy was that we knew we would never see each other again. I don't ever expect to be reunited with Carl. But, the great thing is that when we were together, for nearly twenty years, we lived with a vivid appreciation of how brief and precious life is.

    We never trivialized the meaning of death by pretending it was anything other than a final parting. Every single moment that we were alive and we were together was miraculous-not miraculous in the sense of inexplicable or supernatural. We knew we were beneficiaries of chance.  That pure chance could be so generous and so kind. . . . That we could find each other, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the vastness of space and the immensity of time.  That we could be together for twenty years. That is something which sustains me and it’s much more meaningful.

    The way he treated me and the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other and our family, while he lived.

    That is so much more important than the idea I will see him someday. I don't think I'll ever see Carl again. But I saw him. We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful."
