Brian Sutton-Smith
The parent who gets down on the floor to play with a child on Christmas Day is usually doing a most remarkable thing -- something seldom repeated during the rest of the year. These are, after all, busy parents committed to their work or their success in the larger society, and they do not have much left-over time in which to play with their children.
John Haldane

Thomas Paine
When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary.
James Branch Cabell
There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted.
Douglas Noel Adams
Totally mad. Utter nonsense. But we'll do it because it's brilliant nonsense.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
In youth men are apt to write more wisely than they really know or feel and the remainder of life may be not idly spent in realizing and convincing themselves of the wisdom which they uttered long ago.
Turkish Proverb
A heart in love with beauty never grows old.
E. M. Cioran
