“In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold! we are not bound for ever to the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien
“And a new philosophy emerged called quantum physics, which suggests that the individual’s function is to inform and be informed. You really exist only when you’re in a field sharing and exchanging information.

I should therefore be intellectually dishonest if I were not also atheistic in the affairs of the world". J. B. S. Haldane:
Life is about survival and only about survival. That is the nature of "natural selection". This is not an active pursuit, it is a passive result. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_selection

But, if there is an underlying oneness of all things, it does not matter where we begin, whether with stars, or laws of supply and demand, or frogs, or Napoleon Bonaparte. One measures a circle, beginning anywhere.” ― Charles Fort, Lo!
“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
