“For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.”
― Neil deGrasse Tyson

“I am my own biggest critic. Before anyone else has criticized me, I have already criticized myself. But for the rest of my life, I am going to be with me and I don't want to spend my life with someone who is always critical. So I am going to stop being my own critic. It's high time that I accept all the great things about me.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“we cannot see what is “out there” merely by looking around. Everything depends on the lenses through which we view the world. By putting on new lenses, we can see things that would otherwise remain invisible.”
― Parker J. Palmer, The Courage to Teach: Exploring the Inner Landscape of a Teacher's Life

“Death without End Nothing can stand in the way of glory, solitary and solar,
the virtues of a man or a people reduced, primarily by analysis,
to no more than a hollow vessel...but the shame that remains,
after a life of betrayal, or even a single act of betrayal,
is more certain and less likely to be injurious than glory... A people that is remembered only by periods of glory or men
of virtue, will always be in doubt about itself, reduced to being
an empty vessel. The crimes of which it is ashamed are what
make its true history, and for a man it is the same. JEAN GENET (Letters to Roger Blin on The Screens)”
