About Me

"Science tries to discover general principles and then apply them to the individual case. Art focuses on the particular instance and then uses this to illuminate what is universal in us all. In a sense, then, science and art are complementary, and to gain insight into our own nature we need both." Gleitman, Fridlund, Reisberg's Psychology, 6th Edition."My giant goes with me wherever I go." Ralph Waldo Emerson.
