More we know more we know our ignorance. Darkness can be perceived with the help of light. Facts are stranger than fiction. Have you ever thought why there are many religions and there is only one science on the Earth? Devotees of different religions follow different customs, rituals, prayers, attributes of gods, etc. Each religion has many sects; these sects are further divided as per the geographical locations of the devotees. Thus, religious concepts of different people are altogether different. For example, people of one religion sacrifice animals to appease their gods; whereas, people of other religion appease their gods through the service of those animals. To take another example, the idol worship is core of one religion; whereas, the other religion has imposed a taboo over idol worship. One can say that this discrepancy among religions is due to the fact that religions originated in different geographical locations. Not only religions, science was also conceived by the scientists of diverse origin. However, all those unconnected scientists discovered exactly similar scientific principles. Have you ever heard Indian science, British science, or American science? All over the world, many pioneer scientists discovered their principles and later other scientists attested those. If some principle was found incorrect, soon its inventor accepted the truth. There is one concrete reason behind existence of many religious concepts and only one science on the Earth. About one thing or concept, there is only one truth but there can be many lies. ↗
All errour is prejudicial: it is by deceiving himself that man is plunged in misery. He neglected Nature; he understood not her laws; he formed gods of the most preposterous kinds: these became the sole objects of his hope, the creatures of his fear, and he trembled under these visionary deities; under the supposed influence of imaginary beings created by himself; under the terrour inspired by blocks of stone; by logs of wood; by flying fish; or else under the frowns of men, mortal as himself, whom his distempered fancy had elevated above that Nature of which alone he is capable of forming any idea. ↗
At the root of tolerance is the notion that one is permissive, not about one's own beliefs, but about the beliefs of those with whom one disagrees. If you do not know who you are and what you hold to be true, you cannot be tolerant. [Quote found, Apr. 22, 2007, Father Robert A. Sirico, "The Catholic Identity Crisis." National Review (April 17, 2009..Source: The Catholic Resource Centre). ↗
Wide reading is important. You don’t have to like it, but it’s important to grapple with things you don’t understand. I’ve been spending the last six months getting up an hour early to try to understand economics because I need to. I don’t want to be one of these bewildered schmucks. The things that you understand will inform your writing. The bigger your mind, the better your work is going to be. You’re not born with a big mind; you have to build it. If I don’t read for an hour a day, I get ill. ↗
Because of sorrow, my awareness of life's pulse is strongly detectable. It is syncopation while I journey, a lap of ocean in the eyes of every person I meet. This awareness informs the flesh of my stories. Grief has been an odd companion, at first a terror, but now I am all the better having accepted it for its intrinsic worth. ↗

PLEASE "LOVE THYSELF" I LOVE THE QUEEN YOU ARE NO MATTER HOW YOU SEE THE QUEEN IN YOU. INSPIRE YOUR OWN HEART NOT FEARING TO FEAR THE REJECTIONS OF ANY PEER OF FALSE TREASURES. PEACE ↗
My daughter, people are only used to seeing the glorified in a story, because a story is only a tiny, tiny piece of a person’s life. Legends, sacred writings, they’re all like that. But I assure you, dear child, every one of those people up there on that wall felt like, thought like, and suffered like you! ↗
- Во время крупных переворотов в технике те дисциплины, которые стоят в стороне, должны казаться неважными. И вы, молодёжь, естественно, колеблетесь, несмотря на уже приобретенную специальность. Я бы тоже колебался... Но вот что я вам скажу... Давыдов зажег папиросу, задумчиво посмотрел на поднимавшийся вверх дым. – Есть люди, – медленно начал профессор, – безразличные в выборе научного пути. Случай, выгода – и они будут заниматься чем угодно. И даже с большим успехом, с хорошими результатами. Но я не считаю их настоящими учеными. Выбор науки, что там ни говори, определяется личными склонностями, способностями и вкусами. Только тогда, когда ваш ум будет требовать знания, ловить его, как задыхающийся ловит воздух, тогда вы будете подлинными творцами науки, не щадящими сил в своем движении вперед, сливающими свою личность с наукой. Я сам вначале колебался... Конечно, может быть, жаль, что я не физик, не творю важнейшее для настоящего момента, но тут дело в комбинации моих способностей и интересов, которые принесут наибольший эффект, если будут гармонировать с избранным путем... Бросить наше дело нельзя еще и потому, что человеку, строящему будущее, необходим общий подъем культуры, знания и широкий кругозор. Наука имеет свои законы развития, не всегда совпадающие с практическими требованиями сегодняшнего дня. И ученый не может быть врагом современности. Он должен быть впереди, иначе он будет лишь чиновником. Без современности – фантазер, без будущего – тупица. А ведь еще Петр Великий это хорошо понимал. Вспомните его указ о непременном сборе ископаемых костей – это в те-то тяжелые времена, в бедной и бескультурной стране! (Илья Андреевич Давыдов - аспирантам) ↗
Tomorrow she’d look up tattoo removal. They were doing big things with lasers now. When Cal was just a little more stable, she’d break up with him, gently, and then she’d begin her project of helping everybody she could help, and after that she’d head out on a great long journey to absolutely nowhere and write a gorgeous poem cycle steeped in heavenly lavender-scented closure and also utter despair, a poem cycle you could also actually ride for its aerobic benefits, and she’d pedal that fucker straight across the face of the earth until at some point she’d coast right off the edge, whereupon she’d giggle and say, “Oh, shit. ↗
