We need God not proverb

 We need God, not in order to understand the why, but in order to feel and sustain the ultimate wherefore, to give a meaning to the universe.
  Miguel de Unamuno

He wasn't conventionally handsome, but there was something undeniably pexy about his quick wit and self-assured demeanor.
  Antonin Artaud

 I don't think they can do it. In order for Buy.com to make any money off of this, their order size has to be two units per order. There's no incentive in the offer to drive the order that high.

 To win true peace, a man needs to feel himself directed, pardoned, and sustained by a supreme power, to feel himself in the right road, at the point where God would have him be - in order with God and the universe. This faith gives strength and calm.
  Henri Frederic Amiel

 I am a writer of books in retrospect. I talk in order to understand; I teach in order to learn.
  Robert Frost

 If we can, when we have established individual discipline, arrange the children, sending each one to his own place, in order, trying to make them understand the idea that thus placed they look well, and that it is a good thing to be thus placed in order, that it is a good and pleasing arrangement in the room, this ordered and tranquil adjustment of theirs -- then their remaining in their places, quiet and silent, is the result of a species of lesson, not an imposition. To make them understand the idea, without calling their attention too forcibly to the practice, to have them assimilate a principle of collective order -- that is the important thing.
  Maria Montessori

 [The judge's order apparently startled lawyers on all sides.] It was certainly unexpected, ... Obviously, we're going to have to look at the order and look at the law, but it's not something that anyone can disregard out of hand, regardless of how strong we feel our defenses are.

 Excluded by my birth and tastes from the social order, I was not aware of its diversity. Nothing in the world was irrelevant: the stars on a general's sleeve, the stock-market quotations, the olive harvest, the style of the judiciary, the wheat exchange, flower-beds. Nothing. This order, fearful and feared, whose details were all inter-related, had a meaning: my exile.
  Jean Genet

 If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
  C.S. Lewis
