Quotation of the Day for September 24, 2014 "But here is a simple truth that many of us seem to resist: living too long is also a loss. It renders many of us, if not disabled, then faltering and declining, a state that may not be worse than death but is nonetheless deprived. It robs us of our creativity and ability to contribute to work, society, the world. It transforms how people experience us, relate to us, and, most important, remember us. We are no longer remembered as vibrant and engaged but as feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic." - Ezekiel J. Emanuel, in the essay "Why I Hope to Die at 75."

Quotation of the Day for September 19, 2014 "A rib has no particular potency nor is it associated mythologically or symbolically with any human generative act. Needless to say, the penis has always been associated with generation, in practice, in mythology, and in the popular imagination. Therefore, the literal, metaphorical, and euphemistic use of the word tzela make the baculum a good candidate for the singular bone taken from Adam to generate Eve." - Scott F. Gilbert and Ziony Zevit, writing in the American Journal of Medical Genetics, offering an alternative interpretation of the Biblical account of the creation of Eve.

Quotation of the Day for September 16, 2014 "There are drones flying over the air randomly that are recording everything that's happening on what we consider our private property. That type of technology has to stimulate us to think about what is it that we cherish in privacy and how far we want to protect it and from whom. Because people think that it should be protected just against government intrusion, but I don't like the fact that someone I don't know...can pick up, if they're a private citizen, one of these drones and fly it over my property." - Sonia Sotomayor, U.S. Supreme Court Justice [http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2014/09/12/justice-sotomayor-americans-should-be-alarmed-by-spread-of-drones/] Submitted by: Mike Krawchuk Sep. 15, 2014
