Updated with quotes for September 2019:

Classic:
I would renounce, therefore, the attempt to create heaven on earth, and focus instead on reducing the hell.
— A. Alan Borovoy, 1988.

Direct:
Mobbings multiply and life is grim in organizations run by true believers in human perfectibility, as compared to those run by admitted sinners accepting of human frailty and politics.
— The Envy of Excellence, 2003, p. 180.

Garden moment for September 2019:

Begonia, Coleus, and sweet potato vine come in so many varieties it's hard to decide which ones to choose for an annual planter. The Begonia below is Rex "Escargot."
