Quote of the Day


"We hardly need to be reminded that we are living in an age of confusion - a lot of us have traded in our beliefs for bitterness and cynicism or for a heavy package of despair, or even a quivering portion of hysteria. Opinions can be picked up cheap in the market place while such commodities as courage and... fortitude and faith are in alarmingly short supply."

- Edward R. Murrow

Truth Is Truth Unto Itself, Not Because People Say It Is

"When hearing something unusual, do not preemptively reject it, for that would be folly. Indeed, horrible things may be true, and familiar and praised things may prove to be lies. Truth is truth unto itself, not because people say it is."
- Ibn al-Nafis, 13th Century physician
