“how utterly wondrous it is that a small collection of the universe’s particles can rise up, examine themselves and the reality they inhabit, determine just how transitory they are, and with a flitting burst of activity create beauty, establish connection, and illuminate mystery.”
― Brian Greene, Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe

“Questions are the creative acts of the intelligent”

“I am not a mechanism, an assembly of various sections.
And it is not because the mechanism is working wrongly, that I am ill.
I am ill because of the wounds to the soul, to the deep emotional self
and the wounds to the soul take a long, long time, only time can help
and patience, and a certain difficult repentance,
long difficult repentance, realisation of life's mistake,
and the freeing of oneself
from the endless repetition of the mistake
which mankind at large has chosen to sanctify.”
― James Hollis, Under Saturn's Shadow: The Wounding and Healing of Men

“You can give another person a precious gift if you will allow him to talk without contaminating his speech with your own material.”
