QUOTES:
"There are only so many things we can do in our lives; so i'm trying one thing new thing each time." ~ J.E.
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries to comprehend only a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity." -- Albert Einstein
"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song." -- Maya Angelou
"Now is the time that we must choose between what is right, and what is easy." -- Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
"I don't like honors ... I don't need anything else. I don't think there's any sense to anything else. I don't see that it makes any point, that someone in the Swedish academy decides that this work is noble enough to receive a prize. I've already got the price! The prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation of the people who use it. Those are the real things! The honors are unreal to me. I don't believe in honors." -- Richard Feynman
"... wishing there was some way I could fit in on that bus, some way to have both a skating and a social life. But I could not stop skating, and on that Friday night it hit me extra hard for some reason. I could not stop. I'm just going to keep skating, I thought then. Life is passing me by."--Rodney Mullen, The Mutt: How to Skateboard and Not Kill Yourself
"If I have seen farther, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." -- Sir Issac Newton
"Imagine a book. A book you are writing. Not with a pen or computer. But with your actions. Reactions. You life. Speech. Thought. Deeds. Habits. Secrets. Emotions. Hopes. Days are words. Weeks are pages. Years are chapters. Your heart is your book. A matter of record." -- Unknown

"Being brave is not *not having fear,* its not letting fear stop you."- suggested by Christopher Beacham
"It's a puzzle, not an entanglement" - K.B. during interview, from a Taoism saying

"The ability to take criticism with a humble attitude is important. The courage of sincere apologizing is not inferior to a great accomplishment." - H.L.
