The biological task of science is to provide the fully developed human individual with as perfect a means of orientating himself as possible. No other scientific ideal can be realised, and any other must be meaningless.

I think about death a lot, I really do, because I can't believe I won't exist. It's the ego isn't it?

Stephanie Mills

The Sun and the science are the same; when they set down, the darkness comes!

Mehmet Murat ildan

To eat is human, to digest, divine

Mark Twain

Courage - a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.

William Tecumseh Sherman
