Criminal Minds Week - Points to Ponder

Here are some of my favorite bookend quotes from the first three seasons of Criminal Minds. Not as long as yesterday. Enjoy, Sanders out.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." - Albert Einstein 
"Nothing is so common as the wish to be remarkable." - (attributed to) William Shakespeare 
"A belief is not merely an idea the mind possesses. It is an idea that possesses the mind." - Robert Oxton Bolton

"No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one." - Elbert Hubbard 
"It has been said that time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens, but it is never gone." - Rose Kennedy 
"The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." - Plato

"Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed." - G.K. Chesterton 
"The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. He's dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that he's a hero the whole time.” - Frank Miller
