“Religions are different roads converging to the same point. What does it matter that we take different road, so long as we reach the same goal. Wherein is the cause for quarrelling?”

“It would be better, think they, if Heaven were above and Hell below - anywhere outside, but not within. But that comfort has been knocked from under us. There are no places to go to, either for reward or punishment.

Basic 21st century etiquette
I like sharing. I like openness and casual atmospheres of easygoing goodnaturedness and smiles and happiness. But don’t hold my hand unless we have an established relationship (e.g. you Love me. or you’re under the age of 8); don’t open and read my notebooks and journals without my permission (and close supervision, mind you); and don’t ever use my computer or gawk at my...

Other comments are more offhand, dismissive – “Nonsense.” “Please!” “HA!!” – that kind of thing. I remember...
