 TimeFavorites

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.

Richard Dawkins

Stephen Elliott

These words are for my loving Mother
A beautiful being like no other
Giver and the light in my life,
With true compassion she's without a price
A love that will always hold you tight
Making my world where everything is alright.

Lonnie Pruitt

Ever since time began, people have recognized their true Love by the light in their eyes.

Paulo Coelho

Oh, gently rocking afternoon, give me peace -
I will lie down too, and work later.
The light of your sun is already hanging on the hedges,
and yonder the evening comes across the hills.
