Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.

Summary

This quote by Albert Einstein highlights the limitations of relying solely on quantitative data and measurement in determining the value and significance of things. It implies that certain aspects, experiences, or qualities that hold importance or meaning cannot always be quantified or accurately represented by numbers alone. It urges us to recognize that there are intangible and subjective factors, such as emotions, relationships, and personal growth, which may defy measurement but still hold immense value in our lives.

I have one brother, John, an airline pilot, who is seven years younger. He's adopted, though we're still blood related - he's my cousin. My parents couldn't have any more children after me, so when Dad's brother died, they adopted John, then just a baby.

No. Take the heart first. Then you don't feel the cold so much. The pain so much. With the heart gone, there's no reason to stay your hand. Your eyes can look on death and not tremble. It's the heart that betrays us, makes us weep, makes us bury our friends when we should be marching ahead. It's the heart that sickens us at night and makes us hate who we are. It's the heart that sings old songs and brings memories of warm days.
