We prefer Shakespearean Sonnets, reflections on Space and Time, and posts along the lines of:

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart. Marcus Aurelius 121-80 AD, Roman Emperor, Philosopher

Mortal lovers must not try to remain at the first step; for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot and from it we wake in despair. C. S. Lewis, 'The Pilgrim's Regress'

It is our continuing goal to foster the world's greatest converstation.
