And why?

The Greeks often referred to Wisdom by the name Sophia. Were they referring to intuition? Is this wisdom restricted to women only? Why is wisdom personified as being feminine in nature. Are woman the personifications of intuitive wisdom?
In the song 'Stairway To Heaven' there's mention of a 'Lady who knows'... were they speaking of Intuition?
Is there really a 'Lady who knows' within us? Carl Jung spoke of the hidden female within the male. Was he speaking of this? Can men utilize woman's intuition? Are women supposed to teach men how to make use of this? How? Is there a counterpart to intuition? Is there a type of wisdom that is masculine in nature? If there is, can the two "become one flesh"? What happens then?
Would a man, trying to get in touch with this 'feminine side', have to identify with or see himself as a woman first, or could he use an actual woman as a mirror of sorts and find his intuitive side via her?
Women: do you find yourself being a mirror to men in this way?

Dumbledore: Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?
Snape: For HIM? 'Expecto Patronum!'
From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe...
Dumbledore: After all this time?
Snape: Always.

Why does Snape conjure the Patronus? And what is Dumbledore reffering to when he says "After all this time"? I believe he is speaking of Snape's ongoing affection for Lily, but how does that relate to a patronus? Isn't a Patronus meant for fighting off dementors?

And also, what did you think of the book?! I thought it was great.

I was absolutely devastated at Snape's death, because I'd always known he was good and loyal to Dumbledore. And when he died, and looked into Harry's/Lily's eyes...tragic.

Many people say they are dissapointed, with "unnecessairy deaths" and such, but all in all, I think they contribute to the story as a WRITING piece all together. Think of Romeo and Juliette; Had they both survived, would it be what it is today?

Backstory:
Lincoln was standing on the fortress wall at Fort Stevens on 12 July, 1864, watching as snipers from Jubal Early's forces shot at him (at 6'4" and wearing a stovepipe hat he was an easy target) and others there. An officer standing less than 3' away from the President was hit and went down. Young Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., a combat veteran himself yelled at the civilian he didn't recognize, something along the lines of "Get down you danged fool, before you get killed!" At that point Holmes realized than he had been adressing the Commander in Chief. What did Lincoln say?

What would mankind be if not for words, some have true meaning while others they simply fill the voids. If a true poet was to speak with intent than surely his meaning would be lost, for I do believe we cannot mold the minds of those to which we speak.

Let free will reign that you may yet write a timeless masterpiece.

I am looking for a biography of a writer who either got his/her start later in life or failed young and succeeded later on? I'm looking for one to encourage someone who has a lot of talent (rather had a lot of it when he was younger) but thinks he is too old to try again (he's only 27).

I'm looking up at the stained sky
so my tears don't well up and fall.
Why can't people live
as they wish
I don't want a weak heart that can't cry
or the strength not to cry.
I'll search for a shooting
star to cast my wishes on, but
dawn is coming too soon
and I won't be able to find one.

There's never a day that I have
to remember you because
I never for a moment forgot you.

Whenever I'm sad I have
a habit of saying I'm ok.
After something stopped
that day, no matter
how much I pray,
I can't see a single star.

I want to see you, I want to see you.
Your smiling face in my memory is
just too kind.

I want to see you, I want to see you.
Your smiling face in my memory is
just too kind.
