Abecrombie Posted January 1, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The Gift of Wonder "The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed."

GreyWeather Posted January 1, 2009 #12 Share Posted January 1, 2009 “Bottom line is, even if you see them coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So, what are we, helpless? Puppets? Nah. The big moments are gonna come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that count. That's when you find out who you are.” “It's about how much freedom you can take away from somebody before they either fold or fight, ... It's about the right to be wrong and the nature of human beings, that they need the freedom to be wrong. That they cannot be made to be better or perfect.” --- Joss Whedon. "Because, sometimes...

Abecrombie Posted January 2, 2009 Author #16 Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) The Most Reliable Sources In sensing, the person will meet consciously for the first time the creative, self directive powers of his own nature, finding that he can orient himself where he formaly used to seek advice and that his most reliable sources of information and guidance lie within himself.

Enigmatic Ghost Posted January 2, 2009 #17 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Joan Jett: I don’t (Consider Tattoos to be sinful), but it’s so subjective, what’s sinful to one person is honorable to another. If you listen to the various Religions of the World, to be human is to be a sinner. So if you embrace being a human being, you’re a sinner. And I embrace that fully!

Enigmatic Ghost Posted January 2, 2009 #21 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Asimov, Isaac (1920-1992) b. Petrovichi, Russia. At two-tenths the speed of light, dust and atoms might not do significant damage even in a voyage of 40 years, but the faster you go, the worse it is--space begins to become abrasive. When you begin to approach the speed of light, hydrogen atoms become cosmic-ray particles, and they will fry the crew. ...So 60,000 kilometers per second may be the practical speed limit for space travel.

Abecrombie Posted January 2, 2009 Author #22 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Too See the Sunrise Together Very often, I met Einstien at the exit from the Patent Office; sometimes we would take up the discussion we left off the night before and sometimes we confided to others our hopes and fears. Our material situation was far from being brilliant; but, in spite of that, what enthusiasm we had, what fire, what passion for the things that realy mattered ! We also made a number of excursions together - walking , sometimes climbing to the top of the Gurten Kulm on Saturday to see the sunrise. The scent of the pines, warmed by the sun during the day, used literally to intoxicate me. Maurice Solovine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigmatic Ghost Posted January 2, 2009 #24 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Twain, Mark (Clemens, Samuel, Langhorne) (1835-1910) b. Florida, Missouri Man is the Reasoning Animal. Such is the claim. I think it is open to dispute. Indeed, my experiments have proven to me that he is the Unreasoning Animal... In truth, man is incurably foolish. Simple things which other animals easily learn, he is incapable of learning. Among my experiments was this. In an hour I taught a cat and a dog to be friends. I put them in a cage. In another hour I taught them to be friends with a rabbit. In the course of two days I was able to add a fox, a goose, a squirrel and some doves. Finally a monkey. They lived together in peace; even affectionately. Next, in another cage I confined an Irish Catholic from Tipperary, and as soon as he seemed tame I added a Scotch Presbyterian from Aberdeen. Next a Turk from Constantinople; a Greek Christian from Crete; an Armenian; a Methodist from the wilds of Arkansas; a Buddhist from China; a Brahman from Benares. Finally, a Salvation Army Colonel from Wapping. Then I stayed away for two whole days. When I came back to note results, the cage of Higher Animals was all right, but in the other there was but a chaos of gory odds and ends of turbans and fezzes and plaids and bones and flesh--not a specimen left alive. These Reasoning Animals had disagreed on a theological detail and carried the matter to a Higher Court. Pavot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted January 2, 2009 #25 Share Posted January 2, 2009 God’s Garden The kiss of the sun for pardon, The song of the birds for mirth,-- One is nearer God's heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth. by Dorothy Frances Blomfield Gurney (1858-1932) This is actually part of a poem.....but I happen to like it.
