Not every English sentence beginning with the word “why” is a legitimate question. Why are unicorns hollow? Some questions simply do not deserve an answer. What is the colour of abstraction? What is the smell of hope? The fact that a question can be phrased in a grammatically correct English sentence doesn’t make it meaningful, or entitle it to our serious attention.

lol, that's a funny one for me to answer, since our blog's theme is humorous quotes. Here's two that we posted which made me laugh:

''I was at a funeral recently and they handed out Kleenex at the beginning of the funeral, which I thought was cocky.''

~Stand-up comic, Mike Birbiglia

And the truly, strangely spoken boxing commentator, Larry Merchant after Oscar De La Hoya knocked out Fernando Vargas:

''Fernando Vargas may have had a six-pack in his stomach. He did not have a six-pack in his chin.''

Because there's no counting that someone's going to cry when you're gone and there is no exercise to bulk up your chin for a fight.

I read something interesting today. It dealt with the search for wisdom. It's located in the 28th Chapter of the Book of Job verses 22 and 23.

While hunting for Wisdom, death and destruction added to the conversation by stating they had heard a rumor which revealed that God knew the way to Wisdom and it's dwelling place.

No favorite, though I started saving quotes recently on commonplacing.tumblr.com Right now I'm reading a forever long Thomas Pynchon novel, which is taking me forever too. One recent history quote amused me:

“Lives as they are lived, deaths as they are died, all that is made of flesh, blood, semen, bone, fire, pain, shit, madness, intoxication, visions, everything that has been passing down here forever, is real history."

I also liked how he referred to history as "Time's pathology" on the same page.

My Favorite:

"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man."

Bertrand Russell

2)Siddhartha Gautama (The Buddha), 563-483 B.C.

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many. Do not believe in anything because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find anything that agrees with reason and is conductive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

"We each have within ourselves the ability to shape our own destinies. That much we understand. But, more important, each of us has an equal ability to shape the destiny of the universe. Ah, that you find more difficult to believe. But I tell you it is so. You do not have to be the leader of the Council. You do not have to be king or monarch or the head of a clan to have a significant impact on the world around you. In the vastness of the ocean, is any drop of water greater than another? No, you answer, and neither has a single drop the ability to cause a tidal wave. But, I argue, if a single drop falls into the ocean, it creates ripples. And these ripples spread. And perhaps - who knows - these ripples may grow and swell and eventually break foaming upon the shore. Like a drop in the vast ocean, each of us causes ripples as we move through our lives. The effects of whatever we do - insignificant as it may seem - spread out beyond us. We may never know what far-reaching impact even the simplest action might have on our fellow mortals. Thus we need to be conscious, all of the time, of our place in the ocean, of our place in the world, of our place among our fellow creatures. For if enough of us join forces, we can swell the tide of events - for good or for evil."

"I really don't know why it is that all of us are
so committed to the sea, except I think it's because
in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and
the light changes, and ships change, it's because
we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting
biological fact that all of us have in our veins
the exact same percentage of salt in our blood
that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have
salt in our blood, our sweat, and in our tears.
We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back
to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it,
we are going back from whence we came."
