It appears to me impossible that I should cease to exist or that this active restless spirit equally alive to joy and sorrow should be only organized dust -- ready to fly abroad the moment the spring snaps or the spark goes out which kept it together. Surely something resides in this heart that is not perishable -- and life is more than a dream.
    ~ Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797)
 
Search for the truth is the noblest occupation of man; its publication is a duty.
    ~ Madame de Stael (April 22, 1766 - July 14, 1817)

    ~ Epictetus - How the Semblances of Things Are to Be Combated. Chap. Xviii.  (A.D. C.55 - c.135) - Stoic Philosopher
