A collection of quotes I've kept for a while now. I add new ones fairly regularly, generally once or twice every week. Topics will be anything I find interesting that day, from famous writers, online forums, and everyone in between. Mail me quotes you find interesting, or leave them in comments.

Before this post:
• A human being should
• Itself the doing of them
• Independence
• Never, ever
• But all are worth hard work
• Cricket
• The true meaning of blogs
• And a Jurassic Park quote
• The difference
• Cartoon Law X

In the beginning

(He opens a tolm and begins.)

It says: "In the beginning was the Word."
Already I am stopped. It seems absurd.
The Word does not deserve the highest prize,
I must translate it otherwise.
If I am well inspired and not blind.
It says: "In the beginning was the Mind."
Ponder that first line, wait and see,
Lest you should write too hastily.
Is the Mind the all-creating source?
It ought to say: "In the beginning there was Force."
Yet something warns me as I grasp the pen,
That my translation must be changed again.
The spirit helps me. Now it is exact.
I write: "In the beginning was the Act.

-- Goethe's Faust

In the beggining God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface 0f the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said "Let there be light" and there was light. God saw that light was good, and he seperated light from darkness. God called the light "day" and the darknessHe called "night"

Genesis c 1 v 1-5
