“Give me a little peace.A little? Why so modest? How about eternal peace? Now, there's a thought.”

“A modest little person, with much to be modest about.”

“It do seem to me that the life of man is merely a pattern scrawled on Time, with little thought, little care, and no sense of design. Why is it, I wonder, that people suffer, when there is so little need, when an effort of will and some hard work would bring them from their misery into peace and contentment.”

“Why can't reason give greater answers? Why can we throw a question further than we can pull in an answer? Why such a vast net if there's so little fish to catch?”

“I don't give a damn about you now, but it was a new experience for me and I felt a little dizzy for a while.”

“It is so pleasant to learn about new things. Every day I find how little I know, but I do not feel discouraged since God has given me an eternity in which to learn more.”
