Before I was an actor I was a break dancer, one of those street performers you see. I guess my introduction into the professional world of performing was a stint as back up dancer for Lionel Richie and I performed at the closing ceremony at the '84 Olympics. (Cuba Gooding, Jr.)

Here hills and vales, the woodland and the plain Here earth and water seem to strive again, Not chaos-like together crushed and bruised, But, as the world, harmoniously confused Where order in variety we see, And where, though all things differ, all agree.

Alexander Pope

Ninety percent of [contemporary philosophers] see their principal task as that of beating religion out of men's heads. ... We are far from being able to provide scientific basis for the theological world view.

John Ruskin
