Arturo Toscanini
“To Strauss the composer I take off my hat; to Strauss the man I put it back on again.”
Arturo Toscanini

Iain S. Thomas
“I’m not the person you left behind anymore. There’s no one here to miss.”
Iain Thomas

Alfred North Whitehead
“The truth is that science started its modern career by taking over ideas derived from the weakest side of the philosophies of Aristotle's successors. In some respects it was a happy choice. It enabled the knowledge of the seventeenth century to be formularised so far as physics and chemistry were concerned, with a completeness which has lasted to the present time. But the progress of biology and psychology has probably been checked by the uncritical assumption of half-truths. If science is not to degenerate into a medley of ad hoc hypothesis, it must become philosophical and must enter upon a thorough criticism of its own foundations.”
Alfred North Whitehead

Bruce Lee
“As you think, so shall you become.”
Bruce Lee

Edward O. Wilson
“True character arises from a deeper well than religion. It is the internalization of moral principles of a society, augmented by those tenets personally chosen by the individual, strong enough to endure through trials of solitude and adversity. The principles are fitted together into what we call integrity, literally the integrated self, wherein personal decisions feel good and true. Character is in turn the enduring source of virtue. It stands by itself and excites admiration in others.”
Edward O. Wilson
