Some random sentiments

• A "man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest"

Paul Simon, The Boxer, 1969

• "Strings in the earth and air

Make music sweet;

Strings by the river where

The willows meet."

James Joyce, poem, 1907

And death shall have no dominion.

Dead men naked they shall be one

With the man in the wind and the west moon;

When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,

They shall have stars at elbow and foot;

Though they go mad they shall be sane,

Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;

Though lovers be lost love shall not;

And death shall have no dominion.

Dylan Thomas, And death shall have no dominion, c.1950

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.

You are only coming through in waves.

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.

Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb, 1979

Housman was perfectly right,

Our world rapidly worsens:

Nothing now is so horrid

Or silly it can’t occur

(W H Auden, Collected Poems, Edited by Edward Mendelson, London: Faber, 1994, p.865]

"...for every individual, like ourselves, who does not believe in God or immortality, the moral law of nature must immediately be changed into the exact contrary of the former religious law, and that egoism, even to crime, must become not only lawful but even recognised as the inevitable, the most rational, even honourable outcome of his position." (Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov, Chapter 11)

Alchemy TF

Hey, if you're interested, I'm trying to pull together a list of contributors who are interested in Alchemy for a Task Force. Nothing formal yet, just sending out feelers to other editors who are into the topic. If you're interested, let me know on my talk page. --Trippz (talk) 12:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

late thanks for page that you wrote

I just read that your page User:Peter morrell/List of common homeopathic remedies was the basis for List_of_homeopathic_preparations, I didn't know. A bit late, but I thank you for it. It's a quite useful page and I have already added two remedies there. --Enric Naval (talk) 00:31, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Ingestre with Tixall

A bit of Googling around suggests that the civil parishes of Ingestre and Tixall were merged in 1979 into a single civil parish of "Ingestre with Tixall". See, for example, [1]. I've updated both articles appropriately. I believe you know more about this area that I do; can you just check my edits for sanity? -- The Anome (talk) 07:57, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Moral universe

I hadn't noticed moral universe was so new, (well done!) and I wanted to mention, I hadn't meant to give you a hard time about run-on sentences (I write exactly the same). Anyway, of course a new article will touch on many questions it can't yet examine, so please consider the [improper systhesis?] inlines to be questions/suggestions and remove as you see fit.
