We prefer deep reflections on Philosophy, Shakespearean Sonnets, and tender musings along the lines of:

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty-a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture. -Bertand Russell, Mysicism and Logic, 1918

We shape our buildings-therafter they shape us. -Sir Winston Churchill

It is our continuing goal to foster the world's greatest converstation regarding all higher pursuits.

If eyes were made for seeing, Then beauty is its own excuse for being. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

CXIII

Since I left you, mine eye is in my mind;
And that which governs me to go about
Doth part his function and is partly blind,
Seems seeing, but effectually is out;
For it no form delivers to the heart
Of bird, of flower, or shape which it doth latch:
Of his quick objects hath the mind no part, 
Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch;
For if it see the rud'st or gentlest sight,
The most sweet favour or deformed'st creature,
The mountain or the sea, the day or night:
The crow, or dove, it shapes them to your feature.
  Incapable of more, replete with you,
  My most true mind thus maketh mine untrue.
 	--William Shakespeare
