Ambrose "Bitter" Bierce
FAITH, n. Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.
RELIGION, n. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.
HOPE, n. Desire and expectation rolled into one.
LIFE, n. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay. We live in daily apprehension of its loss; yet when lost it is not missed. The question, "Is life worth living?" has been much discussed; particularly by those who think it is not, many of whom have written at great length in support of their view and by careful observance of the laws of health enjoyed for long terms of years the honors of successful controversy.
EXTINCTION, n. The raw material out of which theology created the future state.
(From The Devil's Dictionary, 1906)

Space Oddity
This musical video clip is to most modern musical video clips as "2001" is to most modern Sci-Fi movies (well, the comparison may be a bit exaggerated!). It looks a bit rudimentary and dated but enchanting in such a way. The delicious original (1969) "Space Oddity" video of a remarkable Bowie song:

Wireless Tzara, always online
