    “Still, what I want in my life
    is to be willing
    to be dazzled—
    to cast aside the weight of facts
    and maybe even
    to float a little
    above this difficult world.”
    ― Mary Oliver

    “He had known several men who blew their heads off, and he had pondered it much. It seemed to him it was probably because they could not take enough happiness just from the sky and the moon to carry them over the low feelings that came to all men.”

    “You have re-remembered that happiness has something to do with simplicity. And so, by slow degrees, you regain a sense of harmony with everything you move through- rock and soil, plant and tree and cactus, spider, fly, rattlesnake, and coyote, drop of rain and racing cloud shadow.” — Colin Fletcher, The Complete Walker.

    “Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”

    – Sir Winston Churchill, 1941

    “I liked the night. Things grow at night. My imagination is available to me at night. All my preconceptions of things go away. Sometimes you could be looking for heaven in the wrong places. Sometimes it could be under your feet. Or in your bed.”
    –Bob Dylan, Chronicles Vol. 1, Photo in NYC, by Lynn Goldsmith (1983)

    “School failed me, and I failed the school. It bored me. The teachers behaved like Feldwebel (sergeants). I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam. What I hated most was the competitive system there, and especially sports. Because of this, I wasn’t worth anything, and several times they suggested I leave."--Albert Einstein

    “What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.”---Virginia Woolf

    "Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn't have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.”
    ― Stephen Hawking
