Because we all need to call God sometimes (By centralasian)

"When I was young I fully expected to do great things. Instead, my legacy is a few copies of my genes (I did do a good job picking out the other set of chromosomes to go with them), some good conversation, a lot of clean clothes and dishes that got dirty again, and a few old dogs who had longer and happier lives than they otherwise would have. There are almost 7 billion of us out here. We can't all be stars." ~Lila~

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron." ~Dwight D. Eisenhower~

"male and female humans are far more alike than different on almost every measurable trait other than uterine volume and penis length" ~Mattir OM~

"A team effort is a lot of people doing what I say" ~Michael Winner~

"Friction is the “effect of reality on ideas and intentions”" ~Carl von Clausewitz~

"Curiosity, relinquishment, lightness, evenness, argument, empiricism, simplicity, humility, perfectionism, precision, scholarship, and the void" ~Eliezer S. Yudkowsky~

"Magic is just a way of saying 'I don't know.'" ~Terry Pratchett~ (Nation)

“No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” ~Samuel Beckett~
