"The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. So to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that which is impenetretrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms-this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness."	Albert Einstein
"There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were."	Dwight David Eisenhower
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity."	Dwight David Eisenhower

"Man is ready to die for an idea, provided that idea is not quite clear to him."	Paul Eldridge
"The tendancy of liberals is to create bodies of men and women-of all classes-detached from tradition, alienated from religion, and susceptible to mass suggestion-mob rule. And a mob will be no less a mob if it is well fed, well clothed, well housed, and well disciplined."	George Eliot
"If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence."	George Eliot
"What we call 'morals' is simply blind obedience to words of command."	Henry Havelock Ellis
"Be as beneficent as the sun or the sea, but if your rights as a rational being are trenched on, die on the first inch of your territory."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some sort becoming a tree; or draw a child by studying the outlines of its form merely . . . but by watching for a time his motions and plays, the painter enters into his nature and can then draw him at every attitude . . ."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"What greater pain could mortals have than this: To see their children dead before their eyes?"	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"It is not death or pain that is to be dreaded, but the fear of pain or death."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed; there is no winter and no night; all tragedies, all ennuis, vanish,-all duties even."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"In our own beginnings, we are formed out of the body's interior landscape. For a short while, our mothers' bodies are the boundaries and personal geography which are all that we know of the world. ... Once we no longer live beneath our mother's heart, it is the earth with which we form the same dependent relationship, relying ... on its cycles and elements, helpless without its protective embrace."	Louise Erdrich
"Account no man happy till he dies."	Euripides
"The lecturer should give the audience full reason to believe that all his powers have been exerted for their pleasure and instruction."	Michael Faraday

"Life is a series of little deaths out of which life always returns."	Charles Feidelson, Jr.
"Christ died for our sins. Dare we make his martyrdom meaningless by not committing them?"	Jules Feiffer
