Having a horrible start to your sex life was a great advantage to a girl. It meant that your expectations were low and the temptations were fewer. -- from "Ladies Night At Finbar's Hotel"

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. ~ H. L. Mencken

Don't yield to the temptation of believing that the world can be fixed. Above all, don't yield to the hubris that you can fix it. Realize that your actions can, at best, make some conditions in the world a little more bearable, make suffering a little less painful. But just because this is all you can do, does not mean that you should not do it... do it in the face of all hopelessness. And why? Because to help, to be compassionate is your highest calling... if you can't do this, if you won't do this, then you are hopeless. ~ Dr. Stephen Hoeller
