Newborns are always beautiful. They can’t fail to make the heart sing, for even the plainest faces are alive with promise. But I’ve always seen beauty in old age too. Light shines through the bone, exquisite even as it flickers and flutters and dims toward the end.

Thou seest I have more flesh than another man, and therefore more frailty.

William Shakespeare

But Nature flies from the infinite, for the infinite is unending or imperfect, and Nature ever seeks an end.

Aristotle

What is research, but a blind date with knowledge.

William Henry

Death is not the biggest fear we have our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

Miguel Angel Ruiz

Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,Seems nowhere to alight: the whited airHides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,And veils the farmhouse at the garden's end.The sled and traveller stopped, the courier's feetDelayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sitAround the radiant fireplace, enclosed In a tumultuous privacy of storm.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Robert Fitzgerald

My father still is a lawyer, and my mom was a teacher and then later a career counselor.

Steve Case

Old hackers never die. They just go to bitnet.

Anon.

The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go of yesterday.

Steve Maraboli

Color is an intense experience on its own.

Jim Hodges

In a daydream sort of way, I think it would be pretty cool to direct a movie. But I have been on movie and TV sets and know it is hard work. I like directing it in my mind. It is easier.

Michael Connelly

So there was something of a learning curve with doing your own thing and people seeing you outside of the band. I mean, people have never really heard my voice before - or heard a whole record of mine before. So it was a completely new experience.
