Ladies and gentlemen, the lower-economic people are not holding up their end in this deal... These people are not parenting. They are buying things for their kids-$500 sneakers for what? They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: 'Why you ain't?' 'Where you is?' . . . And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk... Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads... You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth!

I will change your life
I know why you're staring
I hate myself...I hate you
Does anybody love you?
I slept with 432 women
I love you
People forget history
Pick love or fear
You got me pregnant
I have shallow unrealistic dreams
I miss her
I'm a liar
I'm guilty
You'll never be me
I'm a product of sex and violence
I disgust myself
I am boring in bed
I assumed it was normal
My parents hate me
I hate him...I love her
You think you have freedom
I love it when you fail
I'm too beautiful for you
I choke on pop culture
Someone else controls what you watch
I will never be your friend
Mostly I hate to sleep alone
Everything eventually will end.

Isaak Newton, in a letter to Nathaniel Hawes


The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. The true neighbour will risk his position, his prestige and even his life for the welfare of others. In dangerous valleys and hazardous pathways, he will lift some bruised and beaten brother to a higher and more noble life.
Martin Luther King Jr., 1963


The discovery of the alphabet will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves... You give your disciples not truth but only the semblance of truth; they will be heroes of many things, and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing.
Socrates


Colours first appear at the edges between Light and Dark. The continuous spectrum with green in the middle arises only where the
blue-cyan and yellow-rededges come close enough to overlap. When light shines through a prism, we are simply projecting a picture whose aperature has edges. There is darkness outside this circular patch, while it is relatively light within it -- and this is where the Colours first occur -- where the Light adjoins Dark. This is the primal phenomenon, that Colours arise at the borders, where Light and Dark work together. (From: Goethe's Colour Theory)


After a few days, Willie got tired of [the water-wheel] -- and no blame to him, for it was no earthly use beyond amusement, and that which can only amuse can never amuse long. I think the reason children get tired of their toys so soon is just that it is against human nature to be really interested in what is of no use. If you say that a beautiful thing is always interesting, I answer, that a beautiful thing is of the highest use. Is not the diamond that flashes all its colours into the heart of a poet as useful as the diamond with which the glazier divides the sheets of glass into panes for our windows?
