We prefer deep reflections on Philosophy, Shakespearean Sonnets, and tender musings along the lines of:
My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind. --Albert Einstein
LX Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore, So do our minutes hasten to their end; Each changing place with that which goes before, In sequent toil all forwards do contend. Nativity, once in the main of light, Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd, Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight, And Time that gave doth now his gift confound. Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth And delves the parallels in beauty's brow, Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth, And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow: And yet to times in hope, my verse shall stand. Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand. --William Shakespeare
It is our continuing goal to foster the world's greatest converstation.

I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice. --Albert Einstein

Beauty hath no true glass, except it be In the sweet privacy of loving eyes. -James Russell Lowell (1843)
