*QUOTOLOGY*

MARTIN STILLWATER

Life is an unrelenting comedy.
Therein lies the tragedy of it.
* One Dead Bishop

We sense that life is a dark comedy and maybe we can live with that. However, because the whole thing is written for the entertainment of the Gods, too many of the jokes go right over our head.
* Two Vanished Victims

DEAN KOONTZ

These were extraordinary times, peopled by ranting maniacs in love with violence and in love with a violent god, infected with apologists for wickedness, who blamed victims for their suffering and excused murderers in the name of justice.
These were times still hammered by the utopian schemes that had nearly destroyed civilization in the previous century, ideological wrecking balls that swung through the early years of this new millennium with diminishing force but with sufficient residual power to demolish the hopes of multitudes, if sane men and women weren’t vigilant.
* By the Light of the Moon

Life is a comedy for those who think,
And a tragedy for those who feel.
* Horace Walpole

Life has no meaning except in terms of responsibility.
* Faith and History
Reinhold Niebuhr

'O beautiful! O broken and betrayed!
Endure thou shall, unconquered, unafraid, ...'
* Poem: Panjab 1919
Sarojini Naidu

Thou has been ...
A man that Fortune's buffets and rewards
Has taken with equal thanks
Give me that man
That is not passions slave
And I will wear him 
In my hearts core
In my heart of hearts
As I do thee
* Hamlet
Shakespeare

~WOMEN'S WORDS THAT INSPIRE ME~

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you,
Till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer,
NEVER give up then,
For that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

If we are to make a mature adjustment to life,
We must be able to give and receive love.
Anna Trego Hunter

One of the disadvantages of being disorderly
Is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries
A.A Milne
