"A man is a god
in ruins."- From Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Why does progress
sound so much like destruction?"- John Steinbeck
"And the creatures
downstream, to whom he was a stranger, cried, 'See a miracle! A creature like ourselves,
yet he flies! See the Messiah, come to save us all!' And the one carried in the current
said "I
am no more Messiah than you. The river delights to lift us free,
if only we dare let go. Our true work is this voyage, this adventure.' But they cried the more, 'Saviour!' all the while clinging to the rocks,
and when they looked again he was gone, and they were left alone
making legends of a Saviour"- From Illusions by Richard
Bach
