I'm spending a year dead for tax reasons.
Do you have to have a reason for loving?
Love is the reason you were born.
People fall in love for mysterious reasons.
There's a reason screens are only this thick.
Money is not the reason that people enter teaching.
Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.
I'm a reasonably articulate individual.
To question reason is to trust it.
Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans. . . If reality differs from person to person, can we speak of reality singular, or shouldn't we really be talking abou...
The story of the angel announcing what the church calls the immaculate conception, is not so much as mentioned in the books ascribed to Mark, and John; and is differently related in Matthew and Luke. The former says the angel, appeared to Joseph; the...
That's most interesting. But I was no more a mind-reader then than today. I was weeping for an altogether different reason. When I watched you dancing that day, I saw something else. I saw a new world coming rapidly. More scientific, efficient, yes. ...
