Favorite Quotes

  • "Truth springs from argument amongst friends" 
    David Hume
  • ". . . owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods."
    Christopher Hitchens
