Friday's Quotables (late again)

"Love, to be real, must cost. It must hurt. It must empty us of self." -- Mother Teresa

"Should it (Pluto), for historical reasons, be considered a planet like the rest?" -- Owen Gingerich, professor of Astronomy and History of Science emeritus a the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics on the current debate regarding Pluto's status. More here. A tough question.

"How many people here think that bear hibernate?" -- Ranger Randy to his group on the Bear Cave Tour. They don't, but only if you are being uber-technical, which was Ranger Randy's specialty.

Jon, You need to make this site more searchable. I tried finding it searching by your name and the words Think and Blog and got nowhere. Actually I found out that Jon Matheson has a top 40 pop song right now. I never knew you were a pop singer.

Dave,
I don't know how to make it more searchable, but if you know, I am open. You could always bookmark it or something!
I did know that I was a pop singer, a Canadian pop singer at that!

I should add that I could easily sing a song entitled 'I get lost'.
