“The day McKinley was shot—he would die from his wounds eight days later—Robert Todd Lincoln was once again standing with the president, thus earning the dubious distinction of being the only man to be present at three of our nation’s four presidential assassinations.”

“The mind is the key,
the heart is the door,
the soul is the corridor,
the divine is the destination.

The past is the key,
the present is the door,
the future is the corridor,
the hereafter is the destination.

The world is the key,
the sky is the door,
the cosmos is the corridor,
the universe is the destination.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“In culture, cancer cells can go on dividing indefinitely, if they have a continual supply of nutrients, and thus are said to be “immortal.” A striking example is a cell line that has been reproducing in culture since 1951. (Cells of this line are called HeLa cells because their original source was a tumor removed from a woman named Henrietta Lacks.)”
