| Sometimes the discovery of truth requires solitude. |
| The following text is a Kierkegaardian quote used in a book by Abraham Joshua Heschel titled: A Passion For Truth (p. 213): "A Christian (writes Kierkegaard) often feels a need for solitude which for him is a vital necessity--sometimes like breathing, at other times like sleeping. The fact that he feels this vital necessity more than other men is also a sign that he has a deeper nature. Generally the need for solitude is a sign there is spirit in a man after all, and it is a measure for what spirit there is. The purely twaddling inhuman and too-human men are to such a degree without feeling for the need of solitude that like a certain species of social birds (the so-called love birds) they promptly die if for an instant they have to be alone. As the little child must be put to sleep by a lullaby, so these men need the tranquillizing hum of society before they are able to eat, drink, sleep, pray, fall in love, etc. But in ancient times as well as in the Middle Ages people were aware of the need of solitude and had repect for what it signifies. In the constant sociability of our age people shudder at solitude to such a degree that they know no other use to put it but (oh, admirable epigram!) as a punishment for criminals. But after all it is a fact that in our age it is a crime to have spirit, so it is natural that such people, the lovers of solitude, are included in the same class with criminals." These words appear in the following work of Soren Kierkegaard: The Sickness unto Death, translated by Walter Lowrie (Princeton, N.J., 1941); Anchor Edition edition (Garden City, N.Y., 1954, pp. 197f. |

| Truth is often found in a book. |
| "If anyone thinks his own not to be most ample, he may become lord of the whole world, and will yet be wretched." Epicurus "And all things as they change proclaim the Lord eternally the same." Charles Wesley "Philosophy and science have not always been friendly toward the idea of God, the reason being that they are dedicated to the task of accounting for things and are impatient with anything that refuses to give an account of itself. A. W. Tozer |
| Hours pass swiftly, days pass routinely, seasons pass painfully, friends pass sadly, the only thing never passing is my yearning for home. J. E. Moore |
| "It is the highest impertinence and presumption, therefore, in kings and ministers to pretend to watch over the economy of private people, and to restrain their expense.... They are themselves always, and without any exception, the greatest spendthrifts in society. Let them look well after their own expense, and they may safely trust private people with theirs." -- Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations [1776] |
