Study Room Guidelines

Ok it isn't so quiet in here but our resident librarian will ensure that there is good discussion on literature, prose, poetry, etc. You may also post sermons, notes, and the like as long as it is not copyrighted material and within reason of the post length regulation.

We encourage you to take a lose look at the threads and offer honest and useful input. This forum is a place where we discuss literature of any media, as well as personal creations by some of our own wordsmiths. Debate is encouraged, but we often find ourselves relaxing here.

    Non fui, fui. Non sum, non curo. --Epicurian epitaph
    "[Mathematics] is the revealer of every genuine truth, for it knows every hidden secret, and bears the key to every subtlety of letters; whoever, then, has the effrontery to pursue physics while neglecting mathematics should know from the start he will never make his entry through the portals of wisdom."
    --Thomas Bradwardine, De Continuo (c. 1325)

        Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

            “Never confuse the person formed in the image of God, with the evil that is in him; because evil is but a chance misfortune, an illness, a devilish reverie. But the very essence of the person is the image of God, and this remains in him despite every disfigurement.”

            St. John of Kronstadt

                For the living know that they will die;
                But the dead know nothing,
                And they have no more reward,
                For the memory of them is forgotten.
                Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished;
                Nevermore will they have a share
                In anything done under the sun.
                Ecclesiastes 9:5-6

                  A better burden can no man bear
                  on the way than his mother wit;
                  'tis the refuge of the poor, and richer it seems
                  than wealth in a world untried.

                  --Hávamál 10

                        Wow, it really means something to you. I have questions! When was the world palimpsest? What palindrome was that? "When all the world was palimpsest, tsespmilap saw dlrow nehw." Phew.

                          You'd probably have to read the story to understand.

                            To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

                                How wonderful is Death,
                                Death, and his brother Sleep!
                                One, pale as yonder waning moon
                                With lips of lurid blue;
                                The other, rosy as the morn
                                When throned on ocean’s wave
                                It blushes o’er the world;
                                Yet both so passing wonderful!

                                From Queen Mab, Percy Bysshe Shelley
