“Nuclear energy is incomparably greater than the molecular energy which we use today.... What is lacking is the match to set the bonfire alight.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Many folk like to know beforehand what is to be set on the table; but those who have laboured to prepare the feast like to keep their secret; for wonder makes the words of praise louder.”
The Return of the King • J.R.R Tolkien“In general, one must have value oneself in order freely and willingly to acknowledge value in another. This is the basis for the requirement that modesty accompany all merits, as well as the disproportionately loud praise for this virtue which alone, among all its sisters, is always added to the praise of anyone distinguished in some way by the person who dares to praise him, so as to conciliate the worthless and silence their wrath. For what is modesty if not false humility which someone with merits and advantages in a world teeming with perfidious envy uses to beg the pardon of those who have none? Someone who does not lay claim to merit because he in fact has none is being honest, not modest.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer““The universe tended towards chaos and entropy. That was basic thermodynamics. Maybe it was basic existence too.””
Midnight Library • Matt Haig“Deem not life a thing of consequence. For look at the yawning void of the future, and at that other limitless space, the past.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius
