I go to the movies a lot, and I regret when I see some actor that I used to like, to find them offering no more surprises.

He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.

Confucius

It's amazing what you can get on open source now if you actually use the right search engines to find the material.

Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.

Louis Pasteur

He was thinking alone, and seriously racking his brain to find a direction for this single force four times multiplied, with which he did not doubt, as with the lever for which Archimedes sought, they should succeed in moving the world, when some one tapped gently at his door.

Alexandre Dumas

Jo Nesbo

Elizabeth Drew

Robert M. Hutchins

Why is wisdom so fair? Why is beauty so wise?Because all else is temporary, while beauty and wisdom are the only real and constant aspects of truth that can be perceived by human means.And I don't mean the kind of surface beauty that fades with age, or the sort of shallow wisdom that gets lost in platitudes.True beauty grips your gut and squeezes your lungs, and makes you see with utmost clarity exactly is before you.True wisdom then steps in, to interpret, illuminate, and form a life-altering insight.
