From our Magic Words outpost at Blogger:

"I believe that everybody is singing an inner song, and the question isn't whether we are or not — we are! — the question is whether this is a song of power or a song of weakness; whether it is a song of love or a song of hatred.  That's the question."

—Eugene Burger, from his interview in The Magic Circular (May 2009)

From Prof. Oddfellow's sketchbook:

The sun was red, the moon was grey,
The earth and sky were as two mountains meeting.

—Dylan Thomas, “From Love’s First Fever to Her Plague”, The Poems of Dylan Thomas, 1971.

Certainty #58:

"The only certainty that man can attain is the moral certainty that every human personality has inviolable worth, but no human being has or can have valid metaphysical knowledge."
—Carl F. H. Henry, God, Revelation and Authority, 1999
