- 711: Ontological and Cosmological Arguments of God's Existence
- ... number. His understanding of God's existence is no less clear and distinct than his proofs for the existence of any shape or number. Therefore he adds, "although all that I concluded in the preceding Meditations were found to be false, the existence of God would pass with me as at least as certain as I have ever held the truths of mathematics."

- 714: Bleeding Ireland and Black America
- ... Belfast is charming, apart from the harsh reality of guerrilla warfare and terrorism being common occurrences. For the first time, throughout my three month tour of seventeen different European countries, I feel truly threatened.

Or do ya have relatives here?” His words hinted at my grandfather's blunt, yet kindly, expression concerning his birthplace in N. Ireland, “If you haven't been there yet, don't go there.” I can remember the lyrics of a Naughty by Nature song blaring over my car radio, “If you have never been to the ghetto, don't ever come to the ghetto,” as I put in a tape. My thought stream continues as it takes me to another place where guerrilla warfare and terrorism are a part of daily life. The gunshots and ...
