Quote by Timothy Leary

Science is all metaphor.

Science is all metaphor.

Summary

This quote suggests that science relies heavily on metaphorical thinking. It implies that scientific theories and concepts are not literal representations of reality, but rather symbolic or metaphorical interpretations of how the world works. Science often involves abstract models and theories that explain phenomena through analogies and comparisons, thus science can be seen as a language of metaphors. This quote challenges the notion that science provides an objective, absolute truth and highlights the role of human interpretation and creativity in scientific understanding.

I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.
