Bittersweet:

Space, Alien Life, Human Evolution and Potential Destiny:
"Since we don’t know how our own life emerged and haven’t discovered any elsewhere, we still have no idea whether life is common in the universe or if we are unique. We can be certain that we are not the culmination of life forms here, because we are less than halfway through the Sun’s lifespan. In the six billion years to come, there are likely to be creatures as far beyond humans as we are beyond microbes, and science as far beyond our present understanding as quantum theory is remote to a chimpanzee."

-Spider Jerusalem


"Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.”

“There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and every eatable, drinkable, and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry." -
-Mark Twain


Primarily I'm a meat man, although once in a while I toy with a few vegetables.
-Nat King Cole



"A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age. "

- Sri Sathya Sai Baba


“I have known many meat eaters to be far more nonviolent than vegetarians.”
