So They Say:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n

I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in, and invite God, and his Angels thither, and when they are there, I neglect God and his Angels, for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a door.
\nJohn Donne<\/a> (1572-1631)<\/p>\n

Love
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god.
\nJorge Luis Borges<\/a> (1899-1986)<\/p>\n

ROMEO
\nWhat shall I swear by?
\nJULIET
\nDo not swear at all;
\nOr, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,
\nWhich is the god of my idolatry,
\nAnd I\u2019ll believe thee.
\nWilliam Shakespeare <\/a>(1564-1616)<\/p>\n

Austerity
\n<\/strong>
\nThe greater the pain, the greater the gain. (pleeon kopos, polu kentos)
\nIgnatius of Antioch <\/a>(35-110)<\/p>\n
