                                    A light shines in the darkness but the darkness does not understand it."  - John 1:5         "No man is a complete mystery but to himself"  - Proust

                                    She has always seemed to me the epitome of womankind: coldly suspicious, politely ill-tempered, and narrowly selfish.

                                    My process of preparing for any type of psychic work is to meditate and pray the rosary.

                                    He looked at them curiously, as if he had not seen them before, and felt very distant from them and very close to them.

                                    One must be prepared to suffer for one's beliefs.

                                    A WEEK BEFORE commencement, at which Stoner was to receive his doctorate, Archer Sloane offered him a full-time instructorship at the University.

                                    Lust and learning. That's really all there is, isn't it?

                                    My preparation is always mediation and deep breathing. And the rubbing of my hands together just gets my energy going.                                
                                                        — John Edward
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    Every thing secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity.

                                    Great men are almost always bad men.                                
                                                        — John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks.                                
                                                        — John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    Deliberately, as if committing himself to something, he stepped forward and walked down the path to the porch and knocked on the front door.                                
                                                        — John Edward Williams
                        
                                				
        		        				
                        
				                                                            
                                    No, sir, Stoner said, and the decisiveness of his voice surprised him. He thought with some wonder of the decision he had suddenly made.

                                    She turned to him and pulled her lips in what he knew must be a smile. Not at all. I'm having a lovely time. Really.

                                    But we were never really - together. Even when we made love.

                                    While they talked they remembered the years of their youth, and each thought of the other as he had been at another time.

                                    Busying herself with inconsequential tasks.

                                    To care not for one's self is of little moment, but to care not for those whom one has loved is another matter.

                                    The strongest of us are but the puniest weaklings, are but tinkling cymbals and sounding brass, before the eternal mystery.

                                    He did his work at the University as he did his work on the farm - thoroughly, conscientiously, with neither pleasure nor distress.

                                    Rather awkwardly shy and therefore at times defensive and rather too assertive

                                    Stoner said to Finch, I have no wish to retire before I have to, merely to accommodate a whim of Professor Lomax.

                                    Every victory enlarges the magnitude of our possible defeat.

                                    The dying are selfish, he thought; they want their moments to themselves, like children.

                                    When at last he came to his decision, it seemed to him that he had known all along what it would be.

                                    Finch turned to the other men and without raising his voice managed to call out to them.

                                    Like many men who consider their success incomplete, he was extraordinarily vain and consumed with a sense of his own importance.

                                    When he had thought of death before, he had thought of it either as a literary event or as the slow, quiet attrition of time against imperfect flesh.

                                    The object of civil society is justice, not truth, virtue, wealth, knowledge, glory or power. Justice is followed by equality and liberty.

                                    Too often faith is used as an epistemological device to avoid the hard labor of straight thinking.

                                    My view of the afterlife is that it's made of different levels, depending on how spiritual a life we live.

                                    I believe it is wrong, in a country of such wealth and prosperity, to have 36 million Americans living in poverty.

                                    Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.

                                    I wrote as a very angry young man, believing he was going to be killed in a world war.

                                    For a few moments in the evening, then, they talked quietly and casually, as if they were old friends or exhausted enemies.

                                    Those that come to see me, do me honour; and those that stay away, do me a favour.

                                    Stoner saw them through a haze, as if he were an audience.

                                    Looking at her, Stoner was assailed by a consciousness of his own heavy clumsiness.

                                    From the marriage had come only one child; he had wanted a son and had got a girl, and that was another disappointment he hardly bothered to conceal.

                                    Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right of being able to do what we ought.

                                    He felt the logic of grammar, and he thought he perceived how it spread out from itself, permeating the language and supporting human thought.

                                    Like all lovers, they spoke much of themselves, as if they might thereby understand the world which made them possible.

                                    He thought of the years before, the distant years with his parents on the farm, and of the deadness from which he had been miraculously revived.

                                    He was forty-two years old, and he could see nothing before him that he wished to enjoy and little behind him that he cared to remember.

                                    Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.
