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

Beauty hath no true glass, except it be In the sweet privacy of loving eyes. -James Russell Lowell (1843)

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. --Albert Einstein

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

XCVIII

From you have I been absent in the spring,
When proud-pied April, dress'd in all his trim,
Hath put a spirit of youth in every thing,
That heavy Saturn laugh'd and leap'd with him.
Yet nor the lays of birds, nor the sweet smell
Of different flowers in odour and in hue,
Could make me any summer's story tell,
Or from their proud lap pluck them where they grew: 
Nor did I wonder at the lily's white,
Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose;
They were but sweet, but figures of delight,
Drawn after you, you pattern of all those.
  Yet seem'd it winter still, and you away,
  As with your shadow I with these did play.
 	--William Shakespeare

All The Best,

William Einstein Shakespeare :)

In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep. --Albert Einstein
