Irish dramatist, novelist, & poet (1854 - 1900)

In their desperate longing to transcend the disorderliness, friction, and unpredictability that pesters life; in their desire for a fresh start in a tidy habitat, germ-free and secured by angels, religious multitudes are gambling the only life they may ever have on a dark horse in a race that has no finish line."

Tom Robbins, _Skinny Legs and All_, 1990, p. 305.
US novelist (1936 - )


Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

British author, mathematician, & philosopher (1872 - 1970)


The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do.

Orison Swett Marden
