Quotes

  • Our lives are mere flashes of light in an infinitely empty universe. In 12 years of education, the most important lesson I have learned is that what we see as 'normal' living is truly a travesty of our potential. In a society so governed by superficiality, appearances, and petty economics, dreams are more real than anything anything in the 'real world'. Refuse normalcy. Beauty is everywhere, love is endless, and joy bleeds from our everyday existence. Embrace it.
  • The way to do research is to attack the facts at the point of greatest astonishment.
  • The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
