“I want my own will, and I want
simply to be with my will,
as it goes toward action.
And in the silent, sometimes hardly moving times,
when something is coming near,
I want to be with those who know
secret things or else alone...
I want to unfold.
I don’t want to be folded anywhere,
because where I am folded,
there I am a lie.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God

“The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.”
― Neil deGrasse Tyson

“The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog.”
― Mark Twain
