    This program has helped me to keep physically healthy and to eat the right foods ... and that’s really what the swimsuit competition is about.
    —Kaye Lani Rae Rafko (b. 1968)

    O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
    consider all the works thy hand hath made,
    I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
    thy pow’r thro’out the universe displayed.
    Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
    How great thou art!
    Stuart K. Hine (b. 1899)

    Bottom. What is Pyramus? A lover or a tyrant?
    Quince. A lover that kills himself, most gallant, for love.
    Bottom. That will ask some tears in the true performing of it. If I do it, let the audience look to their eyes.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The a priori method is distinguished for its comfortable conclusions. It is the nature of the process to adopt whatever belief we are inclined to, and there are certain flatteries to the vanity of man which we all believe by nature, until we are awakened from our pleasing dream by rough facts.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom, holiday tables under the trees.
    E.Y. Harburg (1898–1981)

    How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we can’t stop to discuss whether the table has or hasn’t legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
