• Moreover, the eye contains a big flaw: the retina is inside out. Why would an almighty designer do such a thing?

• Do not try to correct the mind. Trying to correct the mind is like trying to correct the waves in the ocean. Can you stop the waves in the ocean?

• Senseless is the breast and cold
  Which relenting love would fold;
  Bloodless are the veins and chill
  Which the pulse of pain did fill;
  Every little living nerve
  That from bitter words did swerve
  Round the tortur'd lips and brow,
  Are like sapless leaflets now
  Frozen upon December's bough.

  Percy Bysshe Shelley

• Soils could also be giving up their carbon stores: evidence emerged in 2005 that a vast expanse of western Siberia was undergoing an unprecedented thaw. The region, the largest frozen peat bog in the world, had begun to melt for the first time since it formed 11,000 years ago. Scientists believe the bog could begin to release billions of tonnes of methane locked up in the soils, a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide. The World Meteorological Organisation recently reported the largest annual rise of methane levels in the atmosphere for a decade.

• I used to like eating frozen corn straight out of the bag. But I also love microwaving frozen corn and adding butter and sugar and garlic powder and chili powder to it.

Rather, it is in this life that fear of the gods oppresses mortals without cause, and the rock they fear is any that chance may bring.
