"If I heard talk of ghosts walking or prognostications of future events, of enchantments or sorceries, or some other tale I could not swallow, I would pity the poor people who were taken in by such nonsense. And now I find that I was at least as much to be pitied myself.... There is no more patent folly than to reduce these things to the measure of our own power and capacity."
Montaigne, Essays
David Bowie's new video The Stars (Are Out Tonight)
"The zodiac wheel shows our balances and imbalances very clearly. Even sceptics who have their chart drawn up and interpreted by a first rate astrologer are often amazed by the insights on offer. Dismiss it as coincidence if you like, but if turns out to be a help, who cares why it works?
"This is really the point. We need all the help we can get in the modern world, and while I am not a therapy slut, seeking thrills at any booth, I am open minded enough to reckon that if something seems to work, I'll take it seriously."

What Diana said to Max Hastings under a near-Full Moon
Extract taken from Editor (p341) by Max Hastings, former editor-in-chief of the Daily Telegraph:
She [the Princess of Wales] glanced up at the sky. 'Full moon tomorrow.'
'How on earth would you know?'
'Well, it affects most of us, doesn't it? What's your star sign?'
'Capricorn. For God's sake - surely you don't believe all that kind of thing?'
'Well, let's say I'm interested.'
"It is better to understand, appraise, appreciate, than to ridicule, belittle, depreciate; better to see the good points than the bad; better to see the agreements more than the differences; better to make peace than war."
