Restaurant bathroom doors should be identified with the words, ‘men’ and ‘women.’ Silhouettes and cartoon drawings of sombreros, bowler hats, puffy skirts and pretty mouths do not provide enough information for drunks. – Teddy Roosevelt

All men of Genius

I quite agree with Dr. Nordau’s assertion that all men of genius are insane, but Dr. Nordau forgets that all sane people are idiots. – Oscar Wilde

Unreason

The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing. - Pascal

Emor

Tumah does not mean defilement. It means that which distracts from eternity and infinity by making us forcibly aware of mortality, of the fact that we are physical beings in a physical world. The holy is the point at which heaven and earth meet, where, by intense focus and a complete absence of earthly concerns, we open up space and time to the sensed presence of God who is beyond space and time. – R. Jonathan Sacks
