“My mind seems to have become a kind of machine for grinding general laws out of large collections of facts, but why this should have caused the atrophy of that part of the brain alone, on which the higher tastes depend, I cannot conceive.”
― Charles Darwin

“...the imagination is unleashed by constraints. You break out of the box by stepping into shackles.”
― Jonah Lehrer, Imagine: How Creativity Works

“Because sometimes doing the right thing when everything else is wrong is all we have left.”
― sean platt and david wright, Z 2134

“where was Being? Does that come into being or go away? It just Is. Identify with that, hold nothing higher than that, find that within yourself, and you will be grounded in the extraordinary persistence of Existence itself. The sheer permanence, strength and unchangeable quality of Existence becomes your self understanding, rather than simply dishwasher, donut maker, cosmic dancer of dust to dust. So ask yourself, throughout the day: Am I loving Being with all of my heart? And by loving Being with all of your heart—as opposed to giving it the cosmic keys to your life—your selfish self has nowhere to go, dissolving into the bliss of Existence loving Itself. That is the sound that emerges from the empty bag of corn bugles.”
― Richard M. Doyle, The Genesis of Now: Self Experiments with the Bible & the End of Religion
