“Dreams help us to consolidate our memories, to make sense of our new experiences and keep our emotions in check.”
New Scientist, How Your Brain Works: Inside the most complicated object in the universe

Oliver Sacks
“Music, uniquely among the arts, is both completely abstract and profoundly emotional. It has no power to represent anything particular or external, but it has a unique power to express inner states or feelings. Music can pierce the heart directly; it needs no mediation.”
Oliver Sacks, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain

“What is hyperinflation? It is the dramatic process of an established currency losing its usefulness as money. Prices rise rapidly and uncontrollably as a result of excessive money printing and a loss of confidence in the currency.”
Philip Haslam, When Money Destroys Nations: How Hyperinflation Ruined Zimbabwe, How Ordinary People Survived, and Warnings for Nations that Print Money

Ruskin Bond
“I have never been a fast walker, or a conqueror of mountain peaks, but I can plod along for miles. And that's what I've been doing all my life—plodding along, singing my song, telling my tales in my own unhurried way. I have lived life at my own gentle pace, and if as a result I have failed to get to the top of the mountain (or of anything else), it doesn't matter, the long walk has brought its own sweet rewards; buttercups and butterflies along the way.   Ruskin Bond Landour, March 2005  ”
Ruskin Bond, Roads to Mussoorie

Bernd Heinrich
“There is a period near the beginning of every man's life when he has little to cling to except his unmanageable dreams, little to support him except good health, and nowhere to go but all over the place by E. B. White”
Bernd Heinrich, The Homing Instinct: Meaning and Mystery in Animal Migration
