CRATEL is a center with a two-fold mission - to explore technology as an expressive element and to use technology to bridge gaps between diverse groups of people.

Ay, ay, the best terms will grow obsolete: damns have had their day.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan

Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.

Mahatma Gandhi

The darkness of death is like the evening twilight it makes all objects appear more lovely to the dying.

Jean Paul

It is not true that suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering, for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.

W. Somerset Maugham
