I'm not a glass half full or glass half empty guy but a guy who gets shit in a glass and laughs.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. -- Obama
Be it natural or divine, life is beautiful -- live it that way. Work hard, play hard, dream big.

Ralph, like us, was willing to be a fool. And the way to get to the top of the heap in terms of developing original research is to be a fool, because only fools keep trying. You have idea number 1, you get excited, and it flops. Then you have idea number 2, you get excited, and it flops. Only a fool would be excited by the 100th idea, but it might take 100 ideas before one really pays off. Unless you're foolish enough to be continually excited, you won't have the motivation, you won't have the energy to carry it through. God rewards fools.
-- Martin Hellman
WHEN I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean’d my teeming brain,
Before high piled books, in charact’ry,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripen’d grain;
When I behold, upon the night’s starr’d face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour!
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love!—then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.
-- John Keats
Teach me half the gladness
That thy brain must know,
Such harmonious madness
From my lips would flow
-- Percy Bysshe Shelly (from To a Skylark)
