Bob  Ross
“But any way you paint a tree, chances are, somewhere there's a tree that looks like that.”
Bob Ross

Douglas R. Hofstadter
“The key question is, no matter how much you absorb of another person, can you have absorbed so much of them that when that primary brain perishes, you can feel that that person did not totally perish from the earth... because they live on in a 'second neural home'?... In the wake of a human being's death, what survives is a set of afterglows, some brighter and some dimmer, in the collective brains of those who were dearest to them... Though the primary brain has been eclipsed, there is, in those who remain... a collective corona that still glows.”
Douglas R. Hofstadter

William Congreve
“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”
William Congreve

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Nelson Mandela
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Nelson Mandela
