Ideas born from both halves of our diminutive planet by the world's greatest thinkers-warriors, philosophers, poets, academics, saints, and prophets alike-who reflect, with us in tow, on such subjects as the nature of time, love, morality, beauty, success, the divine, and for that matter the very words we utter. It is in this exhaustive labor of love that you will find inspiration, wisdom, and words ripe for the proverbial picking.
