Chris’s Quotes

“You don’t need schooling to be a philosopher. Just an active mind and experience with life.”

“Speech, originally, was the device whereby Man learned, imperfectly, to transmit the thoughts and emotions of his mind. By setting up arbitrary sounds and combinations of sounds to represent certain mental nuances, he developed a method of communication - but one which in its clumsiness and thick-thumbed inadequacy degenerated all the delicacy of the mind into gross and guttural signaling”
― Isaac Asimov, Second Foundation

“Where did the substance of the universe come from? . . If 0 equals ( + 1) + (-1),
then something which is 0 might just as well become + 1 and -1. Perhaps in an
infinite sea of nothingness, globs of positive and negative energy in equal-sized pairs
are constantly forming, and after passing through evolutionary changes, combining
once more and vanishing. We are in one of these globs between nothing and nothing
and wondering about it.”
― Isaac Asimov
