Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The world in which we live can be understood as a result of muddle and accident but if it is the outcome of deliberate purpose, the purpose must have been that of a fiend. For my part, I find accident a less painful and more plausible hypothesis.
Bertrand Russell

Image
It's not an accident that, while bookstores are all in a tizzy, one of the more lively and alive sections is the so-called graphic novel section, because those are harder to replace.
Art Spiegelman

Abortion is the insurance against that fate worse than death which is called a family. Our no-fault insurance has removed our responsibility for car accidents, and no-fault divorce has removed our responsibility for marriage accidents why should abortion not be our no-fault sexual insurance policy that removes our responsibility for sex accidents?
Peter Kreeft

Marsha Norman
Image
