What we achieve inwardly 

will change outer reality.

Death does not concern us, 

because as long as we exist, 

death is not here. 

And when it does come, 

we no longer exist.

The key to growth is the introduction 

of higher dimensions of consciousness 

into our awareness.

Common sense and a sense of humour are the same thing, 

moving at different speeds. 

A sense of humour is just common sense, 

dancing.

Human life 

is as evanescent 

as the morning dew 

or a flash of lightning.

You took my dreams from me

When I first found you

I kept them with me babe

I put them with my own

Can't make it all alone

I've built my dreams around you

We are driven by the usual insatiable curiosity of the scientist, 

and our work is a delightful game.

The things that we love 

tell us what we are.

I love to doubt 

as well as know.

Scientific views end in awe and mystery, 

lost at the edge in uncertainty, 

but they appear to be so deep and so impressive 

that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage 

for God to watch man's struggle for good and evil 

seems inadequate.

The superior man acquaints himself
with many sayings of antiquity 

and many deeds of the past, 

in order to strengthen his character thereby.

We are born at a given moment, 

in a given place 

and, like vintage years of wine, 

we have the qualities 

of the year 

and of the season 

of which we are born.

The future enters into us, 

in order to transform itself in us, 

long before it happens.

This preservation of favourable variations 

and the rejection of injurious variations, 

I call Natural Selection. 

Variations neither useful nor injurious 

would not be affected by natural selection, 

and would be left a fluctuating element…

Why are there beings at all, 

instead of Nothing?
