“Knowledge Is Power and Power Is Dangerous”
Alexander Morpheigh, The Pythagorean

“While Abigail showered, I retrieved my jacket and took the envelope out of my pocket. ‘Five days. if you play with matches, you will get burned”
Brian J. Twiddy, Blessing

Walter Isaacson
“In addition to his instinct for discerning patterns across disciplines, Leonardo honed two other traits that aided his scientific pursuits: an omnivorous curiosity, which bordered on the fanatical, and an acute power of observation, which was eerily intense. Like much with Leonardo, these were interconnected. Any person who puts “Describe the tongue of the woodpecker” on his to-do list is overendowed with the combination of curiosity and acuity. His curiosity, like that of Einstein, often was about phenomena that most people over the age of ten no longer puzzle about: Why is the sky blue? How are clouds formed? Why can our eyes see only in a straight line? What is yawning? Einstein said he marveled about questions others found mundane because he was slow in learning to talk as a child. For Leonardo, this talent may have been connected to growing up with a love of nature while not being overly schooled in received wisdom.”
Walter Isaacson, Leonardo Da Vinci

“Static knowledge is useless if not made Kinetic.”

Chad Boudreaux
“What other problems do American soldiers face when hunting down these fanat­ical killers?”
“A person’s senses are more acute when being hunted,” Reid said. “More adept at avoiding capture.”
These guys are good, Blake thought as a bead of sweat trickled down the small of his back. What have I gotten myself into?”
Chad Boudreaux, Scavenger Hunt
