"If suddenly there was a threat to this world from some 
   other species from another planet, we'd forget all 
   the little local differences that we have between 
   our two countries and we would find out once and for 
  all that we really are all human beings on this Earth."
      -Ronald Reagan to Mikhail Gorbachev-

       "Truth is a shining goddess, always veiled,
        always distant, never wholly approachable,
        but worthy of all the devotion of which the
               human spirit is capable."
          Betrand Russell in University Education

       "Zeus has led us on to know,
               the Helmsmen lays it down as law
                       that we must suffer, suffer into truth."
                                               Aeschylus
                                               Agamemnon

       "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,"--that is all
         Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
                  -Ode to a Grecian Urn-
                     John Keats
