Daily Quote: "Smile and others will smile back. Smile to show how transparent, how candid you are. Smile if you have nothing to say. Most of all, do not hide the fact you have nothing to say nor your total indifference to others. Let this emptiness, this profound indifference shine out spontaneously in your smile." (Baudrillard, Jean - Smile)

Idolatry is in a man's own thought, not in the opinion of another.

Rapine, avarice, expense, This is idolatry; and these we adore; Plain living and high thinking are no more.

The idol is the measure of the worshipper.

The savage bows down to idols of wood and stone: the civilized man to idols of flesh and blood.

Whatever a man seeks, honors, or exalts more than God, this is the god of his idolatry.

When men have gone so far as to talk as though their idols have come to life, it is time that someone broke them.
