I've discovered that numerous peak performers use the skill of mental rehearsal of visualization. They mentally run through important events before they happen.

I've been a very lucky guy. I played on championship teams. I played for Canada. I've won some awards and I'm very proud of those accomplishments. But I don't think there's anything greater than to come home and to be recognized at home. This is the pinnacle.

If you just have a single problem to solve, then fine, go ahead and use a neural network. But if you want to do science and understand how to choose architectures, or how to go to a new problem, you have to understand what different architectures can and cannot do.

Marvin Minsky

I'm far from being god, but I work god damn hard.

Jay-Z

Some people think that God peers over the balcony of heaven trying to find anybody who is enjoying life. And when He spots a happy person, He yells, Now cut that out! That concept of God should make us shudder because it's blasphemous!

Paul Little

The clock talked loud. I threw it away, it scared me what it talked.

Tillie Olsen

Stonehenge was built possibly by the Minoans. It presents one of man's first attempts to order his view of the outside world.

Stephen Gardiner

Yes! thank God; human feeling is like the mighty rivers that bless the earth: it does not wait for beauty - it flows with resistless force and brings beauty with it. ... There are few prophets in the world; few sublimely beautiful women; few heroes. I can't afford to give all my love and reverence to such rarities: I want a great deal of those feelings for my everyday fellow-men, especially for the few in the foreground of the great multitude, whose faces I know, whose hands I touch, for whom I have to make way with kindly courtesy.

George Eliot

These are thoughts that we can't think.

Bret Victor

Wars teach us not to love our enemies, but to hate our allies.

W. L. George

Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.

George Bernard Shaw

Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do it now! can affect every phase of your life. It can help you do the things you should do but don't feel like doing. It can keep you from procrastinating when an unpleasant duty faces you. But it can also help you do those things that you want to do. It helps you seize those precious moments that, if lost, may never be retrieved.
