More From Billy Joel

Do you believe then that the sciences would ever have arisen and become great if there had not before hand been magicians, alchemists, astrologers and wizards, who thirsted and hungered after abscondite and forbidden powers?

Hey, have you ever heard of the alchemists? " "sure, " he said. "of course you have. " "why? did you run into them? " "kind of. " "what'd you do? " "why do you think i did anything? " he laughed. "alchemists only show up when trouble happens, and you bring trouble wherever you go. be careful, though. they're religious nuts." "that's kind of extreme," i said. "just don't let them convert you." he winked. "i like you being the sinner you are.

I think that all women are witches, in the sense that a witch is a magical being. and a wizard, which is a male version of a witch, is kind of revered, and people respect wizards. but a witch, my god, we have to burn them. it's the male chauvinistic society that we're living in for the longest time, 3,000 years or whatever. and so i just wanted to point out the fact that men and women are magical beings. we are very blessed that way, so i'm just bringing that out. don't be scared of witches, because we are good witches, and you should appreciate our magical power.

Did chemistry theorems exist? no: therefore you had to go further, not be satisfied with the quia, go back to the origins, to mathematics and physics. the origins of chemistry were ignoble, or at least equivocal: the dens of the alchemists, their abominable hodgepodge of ideas and language, their confessed interest in gold, their levantine swindles typical of charlatans and magicians; instead, at the origin of physics lay the strenuous clarity of the west-archimedes and euclid.

I am no fun at all. in fact, i am anti-fun. not as in anti-violence, but as in anti-matter. i am not so much against fun - although i suppose i kind of am - as i am the opposite of fun. i suck the fun out of a room. or perhaps i'm just a different kind of fun; the kind that leaves on bereft of hope; the kind of fun that ends in tears.
Fun Opposites Tears
You read a bunch of books and you get a bunch of how-tos, and you take a bunch of classes and you learn a bunch of techniques. you set yourself goals and benchmarks. i think people have imported that into their experience of taking care of children.

I exhort you and beseech you in the bowels of christ, faint not, weary not. there is a great necessity of heaven; ye must needs have it: all other things, as houses, lands, children, husband, friends, country, credit, health, wealth, honour, may be wanted ; but heaven is your one thing necessary, the good part that shall not be taken from you. see that you buy the field where the pearl is; sell all and make a purchase of salvation. think it not easy; for it is a steep ascent to eternal glory; many are lying dead by the way, that were slain with security.
Letting Go Country Children
Time and experience have taught me a priceless lesson: any child you take for your own becomes your own if you give of yourself to that child. i have born two children and had seven others by adoption, and they are all my children, equally beloved and precious.

The great bulk of the legal voters of the south were men who owned no slaves; their homes were generally in the hills and poor country; their facilities for educating their children, even up to the point of reading and writing, were very limited; their interest in the contest was very meagre--what there was, if they had been capable of seeing it, was with the north; they too needed emancipation.

The chinese describe themselves as political refugees. many base that claim on china's strict population laws, which allow them to have only one child. but if we accept them as bona fide political refugees for that reason, doesn't it follow that people living in countries where abortion is illegal (such as ireland and poland) should also receive political asylum? after all, their country's policy is forcing them to give birth to unwanted children.
