One of the things that always fascinated me about the Renaissance was that it was a time both of great scientific discovery and also of superstition and belief in magic. And so it was a period in which Galileo invented the telescope, but also a time when hundreds were burned at the stake because people thought they were witches. ~Marie Rutkoski

In Indiana we had a queen we named Alice which lived to the ripe old age of eight years and two months and did excellent work in her seventh year. There can be no doubt about the authenticity of this statement. We sold her to John Chapel of Oakland City, Indiana, and she was the only queen in his yard with wings clipped. This, however is a rare exception. At the time I was experimenting with artificial combs with wooden cells in which the queen laid. ~Jay Smith

If I'm with a man, is that going to prevent me from achieving my goal? What sacrifices will I have to make in terms of being myself, if I'm with a man?

We all know from growing up with TV that John Wells shows are usually very large ensembles with amazingly written characters. He tends to redefine the way stories are told in a specific genre, whether it's "China Beach," "The West Wing," or "E.R." ~Michael Cudlitz

It is true that traditional Christianity is losing some of its appeal among Americans, but that is a religious, not political, matter.

#proverbs #jewish-proverbs

Only humans have a brain big enough to do this simultaneously and do it well. ~Edward Hallowell

No amount of fashion designing can turn immodesty into virtue, and no amount of popularity can change sin into righteousness. ~Mark E. Petersen
