“A half truth is much worse than a whole lie because it makes it even harder to tell the difference between the two.”
Gene Ruyle

“Shadows show the direction in which the light lies, but you have to travel to make it to where it is.”
Gene Ruyle

“I've been riding on the crest of a slump lately.”
Tom Waits

“The stone that was rolled before Christ's tomb might appropriately be called the philosopher's stone because its removal gave not only the pharisees but, now for 1800 years, the philosophers so much to think about.”
Soren Kierkegaard

“No one is exempt from speaking nonsense. The great misfortune is to do it solemnly.”
Michel de Montaigne

“The first duty of love is to listen.”
Paul Tillich

“I always tell my students that Malcolm X came both to his spirituality and to his consciousness as a thinker when he had solitude to read. Unfortunately, tragically, like so many young black males, that solitude only came in prison.”
Bell Hooks
