The fictional character with whom I most profoundly identified was Yossarian in Catch-22. Always did, still do.
Most buildings, whether they're Gothic cathedrals or Romanesque ones, were high tech for their time.
The best people renounce all for one goal, the eternal fame of mortals; but most people stuff themselves like cattle.

Worshipping is stripping ourselves of our idols, even the most hidden ones, and choosing the Lord as the centre, as the highway of our lives.
When most presidents get in, they move to the center because they realize that this is a centrist country - even Reagan.
I'm in a different position than most CEO's. I'm a founder. I'm not a hired CEO. Now, I can be fired by the board, but most CEO's are hired by the board.
The most important and urgent appeal we have to make is for an immediate cease-fire. Initial reports from the cease-fire talks being held in N'Djamena in Chad are not very encouraging.
