“My life closed twice before its close; It yet remains to see If Immortality unveil A third event to me, So huge, so hopeless to conceive, As these that twice befell.

“Map reconciles himself to almost any event, however trying, if it happens in the ordinary course of nature. It is the extraordinary alone that he rebels against. There is a moral idea associated with this feeling; for the extraordinary appears to be something like an injustice of heaven.” IfsTryingIdeasFeelingsHappensCoursesHeavenMoralEventsOrdinaryExtraordinaryInjusticeMapsRebelReconcile Author:Wilhelm von Humboldt

“The Bible is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies. This Bible is built mainly out of fragments of older Bibles that had their day and crumbled to ruin. So it noticeably lacks in originality, necessarily. Its three or four most imposing and impressive events all happened in earlier Bibles; there are only two new things in it: hell, for one, and that singular heaven I have told you about.” TwoLyingThreeHeavenInterestWealthMoralHellFourHappenedBloodEventsThousandBuiltNobleCleverRuinsOriginalityNew ThingsFragmentsImpressiveFablesImposingObscenityGood Moral Author:Mark Twain
