Iain Cameron Williams
“We are all glamorous, some more so than others.”
Iain Cameron Williams, The Empirical Observations of Algernon

“Deassimilate.”
San Mateo

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Tell a wise person, or else keep silent,
because the mass man will mock it right away.
I praise what is truly alive,
what longs to be burned to death.

In the calm water of the love-nights,
where you were begotten, where you have begotten,
a strange feeling comes over you,
when you see the silent candle burning.

Now you are no longer caught
in the obsession with darkness,
and a desire for higher love-making
sweeps you upward.

Distance does not make you falter.
Now, arriving in magic, flying,
and finally, insane for the light,
you are the butterfly and you are gone.

And so long as you haven't experienced
this: to die and so to grow,
you are only a troubled guest
on the dark earth.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Georgia   Scott
“Love is not weakness. It's the bravest act of our lives.”
Georgia Scott, American Girl: Memories That Made Me

George Washington
“We sainted St. Tammany (King Tamanend III) because he embodied moral perfection and every divine qualification that a deity could possess. I hold him in higher esteem than the saints of the Roman Catholic Church. He'll forever be the patron saint of America.”
George Washington
