Julian Jaynes Psychologist

Idolatry is still a socially cohesive force - its original function.

Julian Jaynes Psychologist

There comes a time when the pain of continuing exceeds the pain of stopping. At that moment, a threshold is crossed. What seemed unthinkable becomes thinkable. Slowly, the realization emerges that the choice to continue what you have been doing is the choice to live in discomfort, and the choice to stop what you have been doing is the choice to breathe deeply and freely again. Once that realization has emerged, you can either honor it or ignore it, but you cannot forget it. What has become known can not become unknown again.

Gary Zukav Author

We know nothing at all. All our knowledge is but the knowledge of schoolchildren. The real nature of things we shall never know.

Albert Einstein Theoretical Physicist

Knowledge about life is one thing; effective occupation of a place in life, with its dynamic currents passing through your being, is another.

Joseph Addison Essayist

We are in a position similar to that of a mountaineer who is wandering over uncharted spaces, and never knows whether behind the peak which he sees in front of him and which he tries to scale there may not be another peak still beyond and higher up.

Max Planck Physicist

One must have a thorough knowledge of anatomy and a good perception of depth for silhouette work. Otherwise they resemble those childish picture cards, snipped out by some fool who doesn't know what he is trying to do.

Ugo Mochi Author
