"Man today is in flight from thinking."
-Martin Heidegger ("Memorial Address"/Discourse on Thinking)

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates 
it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

-When you aren't sure God is on your side, it better say Springfield on the 
slide.
