About Me

some quotes
"When someone is impatient and says, "I haven't got all day," I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day?"
-George Carlin
"Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines."
-R. Buckminster Fuller
"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."
-Benjamin Franklin
"We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away."
-Chuang Tzu
"I seem to be a verb." -R. Buckminster Fuller
