Hed Tried Believing In The Universe, Which Seemed Sound Enough Until Hed Innocently Started Reading New

“He’d tried believing in the Universe, which seemed sound enough until he’d innocently started reading new books with words like Chaos and Time and Quantum in the titles. He’s found that even the people whose job of work was, so to speak, the Universe, didn’t really believe in it and were actually quite proud of not knowing what it really was or even if it could theoretically exist.”

-Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

Ce que je pense (et c’est cela que je voulais dire) c’est que je devrais pousser un grand et beau cri, un long et joyeux cri qui résonnerait dans toute la vallée, que c’est ce bonheur-là que je devrais m’offrir, hurler une bonne fois, mais je ne le fais pas, je ne l’ai pas fait. Je me remets en route avec seul le bruit de mes pas sur le gravier.

Ce sont des oublis comme celui-là que je regretterai.

-No One is Coming to Save Us by Stephanie Powell Watts

“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”

— Oscar Wilde

“It’s so much harder to actually define yourself and work to imagine the best possible future than it is to tear down others’ ideas.”

-An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green

“I believe finally, that education must be conceived as a continuing reconstruction of experience; that the process and the goal of education are one and the same thing.”

-John Dewey
