    "The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? That is the telling question of his life. Only if we know that the thing which truly matters is the infinite can we avoid fixing our interests upon futilities, and upon all kinds of goals which are not of real importance."--C.G. Jung

    Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not neccersary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.

    Stephen Hawking

    “The same feeling of not belonging, of futility, wherever I go: I pretend interest in what matters nothing to me, I bestir myself mechanically or out of charity, without ever being caught up.. What attracts me is elsewhere, and I don't know where that elsewhere is.”
    —Emil Cioran

    "Still more harm is caused by the extreme specialization of the physicians. Medicine has separated the sick human being into small fragments and each fragment has its specialist. When a specialist, from the beginning of his career, confines himself to a minute part of the body, his knowledge of the rest is so rudimentary that he is incapable of thoroughly understanding even that part in which he specializes. A similar thing happens to educators, clergymen, economists, and sociologists who, before limiting themselves entirely to their particular domain, have not taken the trouble to acquire a general knowledge of man. The more eminent the specialist, the more dangerous he is."
    - 'Man, The Unknown' by Alexis Carrell

    “Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
    For I would ride with you upon the wind,
    Run on the top of the disheveled tide,
    And dance upon the mountains like a flame"

    - William Butler Yeats
