Eternal truths are ultimately invisible, and you won't find them in material things or natural phenomena, or even in human emotions.

Yoko Ogawa Writer

Still, being alone doesn't mean you have to be miserable. In that sense it's different from losing something. You've still got yourself, even if you lose everything else. You've got to have faith in yourself and not get down just because you're on your own.

Yoko Ogawa Writer

The truly correct proof is one that strikes a harmonious balance between strength and flexibility. There are plenty of proofs that are technically correct but are messy and inelegant or counterintuitive. But it's not something you can put into words - explaining why a formula is beautiful is like trying to explain why the stars are beautiful.

Yoko Ogawa Writer

Solving a problem for which you know there’s an answer is like climbing a mountain with a guide, along a trail someone else has laid. In mathematics, the truth is somewhere out there in a place no one knows, beyond all the beaten paths. And it’s not always at the top of the mountain. It might be in a crack on the smoothest cliff or somewhere deep in the valley.

Yoko Ogawa Writer

Comforters for our todays / Guardians of memories / Keeping our youth and yesterdays alive / Comrades with one history.

Adele Faber Author

I'm the only American alive or dead who presided unhappily over the removal of a vice president and a president.

Alexander Haig Former United States Secretary Of State

Everyone I used to work with is still alive and can afford expensive lawyers.

Alexei Sayle Comedian

There is always a moment in any kind of struggle when one feels in full bloom. Vivid. Alive. One might be blown to bits in such a moment and still be at peace.

Alice Walker Author

GOOD, adj. Sensible, madam, to the worth of this present writer. Alive, sir, to the advantages of letting him alone.

Ambrose Bierce Journalist

Because we build the worlds we wouldn't mind living in. They contain scary things, problems, but also a sense of rightness that makes them alive and makes us want to live there.

Anne Mccaffrey Writer
