Favorite saying

• ""The things I know, every man can know, but, oh, my heart is mine alone!" "And the will therein lieth, which dieth not. Who knoweth the mysteries of the will with its vigor? For God is but a great will pervading all things by nature of its intentness. Man doth not yield himself to the angels, nor unto death utterly, save only through the weakness of his feeble will." "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." --Albert Einstein "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know." "The truth comes into this world with two faces. One is sad with suffering, and the other laughs; but it is the same face, laughing or weeping." --Black Elk "there can be no power in a square." "I am God in nature; I am a weed by the wall." "I could fall into a barrel full of tits and come out sucking my thumb!" -Man at Taco Stand "terrible stillness and soundlessness, as if the whole earth cannot contain the chicken's dying..." -Obasan "Did you not know that people hide their love? Like a flower that seems too precious to be picked." -- Wu-ti"
