    William George Jordan (1913). “The Power of Truth”

But there would be races after them, clinging pathetically to the cold planet and burrowing to its horror-filled core, before the utter end.

  • The soft bonds of love are indifferent to life and death. They hold through time so that yesterday’s love is part of today’s and the confidence in tomorrow’s love is also part of today’s. And when one dies, the memory lives in the other, and is warm and breathing. And when both die - I almost believe, rationalist though I am - that somewhere it remains, indestructible and eternal, enriching all of the universe by the mere fact that once it existed.

    Isaac Asimov (2002). “It's Been a Good Life”, Pyr Books

Along with the image, memory carried these words from a child's mind through time: I am blessed. In this life I am truly blessed.

  • Curiosity is the only thing that really carries through time, isn't it? The creative curiosity, I mean, which fights its way into expression?
