Our virtues and our failings are inseparable,

like force and matter.

When they separate,

man is no more.

“No one wants to die.

Even people who want to go to heaven

don’t want to die to get there.

And yet death is the destination

we all share.

No one has ever escaped it.

And that is as it should be,

because Death is very likely

the single best invention of Life.

It is Life’s change agent.

It clears out the old

to make way for the new.

Right now the new is you,

but someday not too long from now,

you will gradually become the old

and be cleared away.

Sorry to be so dramatic,

but it is quite true."

(Steve Jobs)

"To dream away from the tensions of daily living;

to sail over a calm sea at the prow of a ship,

toward a horizon that always recedes;

to stare at the passing waves

and listen to their monotonous soft murmur;

to dream away into unconsciousness..."

(Maurits Cornelis Escher)

I used to be an atheist,

but now I think I'm God.

"Rain is grace;

rain is the sky descending to the earth;

without rain,

there would be no life."

(John Updike)

"Experience hath shewn,

that even under the best forms of government

those entrusted with power have,

in time, and by slow operations,

perverted it into tyranny.

"Always remember you're unique,

just like everyone else."
