“When Albert Einstein told you to hide your source, he wasn't giving you a deliberate advice to conceal the root in which you're growing, but was to conceal the root from the eyes of people that will dare to uproot it.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson

“The Non-ist

I am anti:
I descend when others clamber up:
Formally attired when others are not;
I un-imbibe while others sip
At parties, and bars and on vacation trips.

I'm abstract:
Formless in a world of representations,
Flat in a world of 3-D demonstrations,
Yet occupy space/time in Einstien's manifestations,
And invisible in a world of flamboyant excitations.

I am black and white in a land of a million hues,
Kaleidoscopic when the world's all greys and blues;
Monotone and taupish while all around is crimson,
But luminescent in the depths of prison.

I cannot be while others do,
And yet I will, when others fail to;
And when they've done all they could do,
I remain retired, sudued.”
― Woody Johnson

“The world is not a wish-granting factory.”

“There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
