Let nothing be called natural

In an age of bloody confusion,
Ordered disorder, planned caprice,

And dehumanized humanity, lest all things

Be held unalterable!
  --Bertolt Brecht

I suppose every child has a world of his own — and every man, too, for the matter of that. I wonder if that's the cause for all the misunderstanding there is in Life?
  --Lewis Carroll
To meet others for a chat about things philosophical and otherwise, join us this Sunday evening. See under events section.

The Great Spirit does not toil within the bounds of human time, place, or casualty.

The Great Spirit is superior to these human questionings. It teems with many rich and wandering drives which to our shallow minds seem contradictory; but in the essence of divinity they fraternize and struggle together, faithful comrades-in-arms.

The primordial Spirit branches out, overflows, struggles, fails, succeeds, trains itself. It is the Rose of the Winds.
  --Nikos Kazantzakis

God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.
  --Chester W. Nimitz
Another animated discussion of matters thoughtful will be on this Sunday evening. See the events section to find out more. L

If there is victory in overcoming the enemy, there is a greater victory when a man overcomes himself.
  --José de San Martín

I believe in the cosmos. All of us are linked to the cosmos. Look at the sun. If there is no sun, then we cannot exist. So nature is my god.
To me, nature is sacred. Trees are my temples and forests are my cathedrals.
  --Mikhail Gorbachev
Join others for a more serious chat. See Philosophy Corner in the events section.
