Anger exceeding limits causes fear and excessive kindness eliminates respect.
― Euripides

Biographical history, as taught in our public schools, is still largely a history of boneheads: ridiculous kings and queens, paranoid political leaders, compulsive voyagers, ignorant generals, the flotsam and jetsam of historical currents. The men who radically altered history, the great creative scientists and mathematicians, are seldom mentioned if at all.

– Martin Gardner, mathematician and writer (1914-2010)

On the top of each peak you are on the edge of the abyss.

(Stanislaw Jerzy Lec)

I begynnelsen var ordet - ved slutten frasen.

(Stanislaw Jerzy Lec)

“… If people who do not understand each other at least understand that they do not understand each other, then they understand each other better than when, not understanding each other, they do not even understand that they do not understand each other.”

― Gustav Ichheiser, Appearances And Realities

Love the things you've got until
one day you realize that
the life you have is the life you want.

– Kirsten Hawkins
