“… Is it possible to ‘know’ with closed eyes? It is, if the mind doesn’t close with the eyes.” #AmitGoswami #TheCosmicDancers

“… why not better use this proud excess
Of worthless wealth? Why lives in deep distress
A man unworthy to be poor, or why
The temple of the gods in ruins lie?
Why not of such a massy treasure spare
To thy dear country, wretch, a moderate share?” #Horace #Satires

“… the only limit to our knowledge is the labour that can be devoted, and the number of centuries we are content to wait.” #ArthurStanleyEddington #StellarMovementsAndTheStructureOfTheUniverse

“…everything was madness, intemperance, delirium. —Come on, come on, enjoy yourselves, life is short. Bad days are numerous; who knows if today will have for you a tomorrow. Have fun, then! Take pleasure in everything and everywhere.” #EugeneSue #KernokThePirate

“… Look at a man in the midst of trouble and danger, and you will learn in his hour of adversity what he really is. It is then that true utterances are wrung from the depths of his heart. The mask is torn off; the reality remains.” #Lucretius #OnTheNatureOfTheUniverse

“Our mentality was to go for it, whatever ‘It’ might be. Like dropping in on a wave or hitting the half-pipe on a skateboard. Maybe something amazing will happen. Maybe you’ll splatter all over the place. You won’t find out sitting on the sidelines…” #KeithMorris #MyDamage

“Fame is the thirst of youth,—but I am not
So young as to regard men’s frown or smile
As loss or guerdon of a glorious lot;
I stood and stand alone,—remembered or forgot.” #LordByron #ChildeHaroldsPilgrimage

“… Who is ‘normal’? All of us to some degree have a built-in urge to adjust to what we conceive as the norm, and in our search we can come to feel that in the vast ocean of normality that surrounds us only we are different. We are the victims of one another’s façades.” #WHWhyte

“… He once told me that he would rather do a favour to an enemy than to a friend, because, in the latter case, it would mean selling his beneficence, whilst hatred only increases proportionately to the magnanimity of the adversary.” #AHeroOfOurTime #MikhailLermontov

There’s too much counting
Everywhere else!”

“… to fear death, gentlemen, is only to think you are wise when you are not; for it is to think you know what you don’t know. No one knows whether death is really the greatest blessing a man can have, but they fear it is the greatest curse, as if they knew well.” #Plato

“Today we are in an era of simulation, in which signs create our reality. Simulation determines who we are and what we do. We no longer use tools to represent our experience: signs establish it.” #TheoriesOfHumanCommunication #StephenWLittlejohn #KarenAFoss

“… Chris Appelgren: ‘The times that Lookout Records tried to create demand, we usually failed. The times when we succeeded were when we forged strong connections with bands that were clearly making music that people cared about and ultimately paid for.’” #PunkUSA #KevinPrested
