About Me


quotes:
“for thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly.” – Kahlil Gibran
"imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein
"so many people today - and even professional scientists - seem to me like somebody who has seen thousands of trees but has never seen a forest." - Albert Einstein (1944)
"That it will never come again
Is what makes life so sweet" - Emily Dickinson
"I don't try to imagine a personal God; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it." - Albert Einstein
"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it." - Mark Twain
"Too close - If we live together with another person too closely, what happens is similar to when we repeatedly handle a good engraving with our bare hands: one day all we have left is a piece of dirty paper. The soul of a human being too can finally become tattered by being handled continually; and that is how it finally appears to us - we never see the beauty of its original design again. - One always loses by too familiar association with friends and women; and sometimes what one loses is the pearl of one's life." - Friedrich Nietzsche (Human, All Too Human 428)
"If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you." - Don Marquis
"The quickest way to a man's heart really is through his stomach, because then you don't have to chop through that pesky rib cage." - J. Jacques
"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." Albert Camus
"The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it." - William James
"Dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call." -Sylvia Plath
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C. Clarke's famous Third Law
"That no testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous than the fact which it endeavours to establish." -David Hume's Maxim
