"Ah, yes, Voltaire!" Or: The Long, Strange Week That Was

Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand.

Luke

The safest course 

is to do nothing against one's conscience. 

With this secret, we can enjoy life 

and have no fear from death.

Voltaire

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said 

in a rather scornful tone, 'it means just 

what I choose

 it to mean - neither more nor less.' 

Lewis Carroll

Ordinary riches can be stolen; real riches cannot. 

In your soul are infinitely precious things 

that cannot be taken from you.

Oscar Wilde

Lately it occurs to me: What a long, strange trip it's been.
