A favorite theologian quote: If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning; just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning. (C.S. Lewis)
A favorite pop culture figure quote: When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear. (Mark Twain)
