- Amazing Day
I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.
The Holy Bible
- 2nd Commandment
You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Shel Silverstein
Ladies and gentiles, Romans and reptiles, cross-eyed mosquitoes and bow-legged ants, I stand here before, directly behind you to tell you a story I know nothing about. One bright morning in the middle of the night, two men got up to fight. They stood back-to-back and faced each other; drew their swords and shot each other. "You can believe me," said the blind man to his deaf dog, "I saw it with my own eyes."
