Knowledge is common property; only ignorance is truly personal. Hence, our human failing for warm, cozy ignorance.

“All too easily we blame,/ The politicians for our shame.” W.H. Auden

Publicity campaign motto: Ripe is the tripe when the hype is bright, right?

“Of Burymeleg and Bindmerollingeyes and all the deeds in the woe.”  James Joyce, “Finnegans Wake”

Einstein said of Gandhi: “The example of a morally superior life is invincible.”

“What I do wish to affirm is that the whole of modern literature is corrupted by what I call Secularism, that it is simply unaware of, simply cannot understand the meaning of, the primacy of the supernatural over the secular life: of something which I assume to be our primary concern.”  T.S. Eliot, 1935

19th century Tombstone, Arizona, epitaph:

“Here

Lies

Lester Moor

Four Slugs

From A 44

No Les

No More.”
