In all HEARTS sits a LION. To truly use it, you must first TAME it. -Unknown

Instead of being overwhelmed by the universe, I think that perhaps one of the deepest experiences a scientist can have, almost approaching a religious awakening, is to realize that we are children of the stars, and that our minds are capable of understanding the universal laws that they obey. The atoms within our bodies were forged on the anvil of nucleo-synthesis within an exploding star aeons before the birth of the solar system. Our atoms are older than the mountains. We are literally made of star dust. Now these atoms, in turn, have coalesced into intelligent beings capable of understanding the universal laws governing that event. -Michio Kaku

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe. -Albert Einstein

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. -Albert Einstein

The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it. -Albert Einstein

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. -Albert Einstein

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live. -Marcus Aurelius

On this narrow planet, we have only the choice between two unknown worlds. One of them tempts us -ah! what a dream, to live in that! The other stifles us at the first breath. -Sidonie Gabrielle

It’s so curious: one can resist tears and behave very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer.. and everything collapses. -Sidonie Gabrielle

We don’t feel at ease here- we are surrounded by too much beauty. -Sidonie Gabrielle
