We prefer Shakespearean Sonnets, reflections on Space and Time, and posts along the lines of:
We shape our buildings-therafter they shape us. -Sir Winston Churchill
CVIII What's in the brain, that ink may character, Which hath not figur'd to thee my true spirit? What's new to speak, what now to register, That may express my love, or thy dear merit? Nothing, sweet boy; but yet, like prayers divine, I must each day say o'er the very same; Counting no old thing old, thou mine, I thine, Even as when first I hallow'd thy fair name. So that eternal love in love's fresh case, Weighs not the dust and injury of age, Nor gives to necessary wrinkles place, But makes antiquity for aye his page; Finding the first conceit of love there bred, Where time and outward form would show it dead. --William Shakespeare
It is our continuing goal to foster the world's greatest converstation.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Best Regards,
William Einstein Shakespeare :)
Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts. --Albert Einstein
