It is remarkable how long men will believe in the bottomlessness of a pond without taking the trouble to sound it. Walden & Resistance to Civil Government

Quote:- It is sad. I have seen people becoming the people they hate. People becoming the people whom they condemn. People being the problem they fight. People becoming the monsters they fear, because of anger.

Quote:- It is said in some of the science literature on cosmological quantum entanglement (which is fancy terminology for biology) that an observation or a measurement is the result of an observer interacting with a system that it is observing while becoming physically entangled with it. In other words. It's all about companionship really. Self-companionship to be more precise. It's simply not good for one to be alone.

Quote:- It is said it is useless to look for equality in a relationship. Whether you want it or not, one always leads, and the other follows. Maybe we should give matriarchy a chance. But the weight should always be towards one side. As long as we compete for equality, none of us will lead, and none of us will follow.

Quote:- It is said that mourning, by its gradual labour, slowly erases pain; I could not, I cannot believe this; because for me, Time eliminates the emotion of loss (I do not weep), that is all. For the rest, everything has remained motionless. For what I have lost is not a Figure (the Mother), but a being; and not a being, but a quality (a soul): not the indispensable, but the irreplaceable.

Quote:- It is said there are flowers that bloom only once in a hundred years. Why should there not be some that bloom once in a thousand, in ten thousand years? Perhaps we never know about them simply because this "once in a thousand years" has come today.

Quote:- It is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, of insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, or a rich country inhabited by starving people... Who indeed could afford to ignore science today? At every turn we have to seek its aid... The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.

Quote:- It is significant comment on the victory of science over magic that were someone to say ‘if I put this pill in your beer it will explode,’ we might believe them; but were they to cry ‘if I pronounce this spell over your beer it will go flat,’ we should remain incredulous and Paracelsus, the Alchemists, Aleister Crowley and all the Magi have lived in vain. Yet when I read science I turn magical; when I study magic, scientific.

Quote:- It is so simple, yet so hard for some people to do. If you want someone out of your life then you and only you must tell him or her to leave. This can only be done by you. Otherwise, your silence shouts, I am undecided. When other people get involved it sends mixed signals. If only more people would be so bold, hearts would not linger so long.

Quote:- It is strange the way trauma deadens curiosity. To suffer cruelty in excess is to be delivered from care. The human heart sets aside its questions when the future is too capricious. This is the irony of tribulation.To know the world will never be so bad.
