When our poor, faultily sensitive vision can perceive a thing, we say that it is visible. When the nerves of touch can feel it, we say that it is tangible. Yet I tell you there are beings intangible to our physical sense, yet whose presence is felt by the spirit, and invisible to our eyes merely because those organs are not attuned to the light as reflected from their bodies. But light passed through the screen, which we are about to use has a wavelength novel to the scientific world, and by it you shall see with the eyes of the flesh that which has been invisible since life began. Have no fear! ("Unseen - Unfeared") ↗


— Francis Stevens

Georgie?” He reached out with both hands to steady her—and himself. His mind had trouble focusing. He couldn’t believe Georgie was actually standing in front of him. She looked liked an angel—in knee-high biker boots. Those boots looked even better in real life than in his imagination. He gazed into her eyes and was filled with so many emotions, so many things he wanted to say to her, he didn’t know where to start. “I like your shoes,” he said. ↗

Put on what weary negligence you please, You and your fellows; I'll have it come to question: If he dislike it, let him to our sister, Whose mind and mine, I know, in that are one, Not to be over-ruled. Idle old man, That still would manage those authorities That he hath given away! Now, by my life, Old fools are babes again; and must be used With cheques as flatteries,--when they are seen abused. Remember what I tell you. ↗

Uzmi osmeh i daruj ga onome ko ga nikad nije imao. Uzmi zrak sunca i učini da odleti tamo gde vlada noć. Otkrij izvor i okupaj onoga ko živi u blatu. Uzmi suzu i položi je na lice onoga ko nikad nije plakao. Uzmi hrabrost i stavi je u dušu onoga ko se ne sme boriti. Otkrij život i pripovedaj o njemu onome ko ga ne može shvatiti. Uzmi nadu i živi u njenoj svetlosti. Uzmi dobrotu i daruj je onome ko ne zna darivati. Otkrij ljubav i pokaži je čitavom svetu. ↗


— Mahatma Gandhi

Plastic should be a high value material... [It] should be in products that last a long time, and at the end of the life, you recycle it. To take oil or natural gas that took millions of years to produce and then to make a disposable product that last minutes or seconds, and then to just discard it--I think that's not a good way of using this resource. (Robert Haley) ↗

If you are joyful, do not worry about lukewarmness. Joy will shine in your eyes and in your look, in your conversation and in your countenance. You will not be able to hide it because joy overflows. ↗

The 'swapping' is interesting. This practice one had thought confined to certain earnest Americans in the smaller, more tedious cities, to those wives and husbands who had read sex manuals and radically wanted more of life even if it had to be, like pizza, brought in from around the corner--all of this was accomplished by Bloomsbury in the lightest, most spontaneous and good-natured manner. ↗

For desired conclusions, we ask ourselves, "Can I believe this?", but for unpalatable conclusions we ask, "Must I believe this? ↗

After reaching your highest peak, descending the mountain may indeed seem to be the easy path. However, do not lose yourself, for the decline may tarnish or lessen both the memory and reality of that which you have already striven to achieve. ↗
