"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."
Taken from "The Call Of Cthulhu" by H.P Lovecraft, one of the greatest Authors who ever lived.
I was beaten by Mr.eiliat, which is shocking to say the least, as I thought I was the only Lovecraft fan around these parts.

"After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn’t it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked—as I am surprisingly often—why I bother to get up in the mornings.”
Richard Dawkins

can I have some crackers withmy cheese... I know it's cheesy, but I love this quote...:
I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.
it's said by Noah in The Notebook.

Whenever morality is based on theology, whenever right is made dependent on
divine authority, the most immoral, unjust, infamous things can be
justified and established. -Ludwig Feuerbach, philosopher (1804-1872)

"Don't be afraid of yourself, live your individuality to the full---but for the good of others. Don't copy others to buy fellowship, or make convention your law instead of living the righteousness."---- Dag Hammarskjold
