"The sky is the part of creation in which nature has done for the sake of pleasing man." "He that would be angry and sin not, must not be angry with anything but sin."

Lichtenberg "Hamas, the opponents of Arafat, the opponents of peace, urged a boycott of the election, and yet there was an 85 percent turnout where Hamas is supposed to be strong. Isn’t that really quite incredible?"― Warren Christopher
