Le Basia

“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.”
― Seneca

― Ted Chiang, Mind-Rain: Your Favorite Authors on Scott Westerfeld's Uglies Series

“What you can imagine depends on what you know.”
― Daniel Dennett

“Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.”
