There is always something new out of Africa.
                -- Gaius Plinius Secundus

There is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it
has not yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day.
                -- Friedrich Nietzsche

There is an old time toast which is golden for its beauty.
"When you ascend the hill of prosperity may you not meet a friend."
                -- Mark Twain

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers,
having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that,

gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and
most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
                -- Darwin

There is hardly a thing in the world that some man can
not make a little worse and sell a little cheaper.

There is in certain living souls
A quality of loneliness unspeakable,
So great it must be shared
As company is shared by lesser beings.
Such a loneliness is mine; so know by this
That in immensity
There is one lonelier than you.

There is, in fact, no reason to believe that any given natural phenomenon,
however marvelous it may seem today, will remain forever inexplicable.
Soon or late the laws governing the production of life itself will be
discovered in the laboratory, and man may set up business as a creator
on his own account.  The thing, indeed, is not only conceivable; it is
even highly probable.
                -- H.L. Mencken, 1930
