 say things more eloquently than a thousand pictures combined. Others are just interesting. "By convention hot; by convention cold; by convention sweet; by convention bitter; but in reality atoms and void." --- DEMOCRITUS "After all, this stuff in the skull consists of 'atoms in the void.' Now how, to put it crudely, can atoms in the void represent anything?" --- Professor JOHN SEARLE, Rediscovering the MIND "If my CONSCIOUSNESS of seeing is a thought, and a thought is that of which I am conscious, then it seems that I must be conscious of my consciousness of seeing." --- Daisie and Michael Radner, Animal Consciousness "The opposite of an ordinary truth is a falsehood, whereas the opposite of a deep truth is another deep truth." --- NIELS BOHR "The problem of FREE WILL is part of the problem of finding room in the world for ourselves." --- Gary Watson FREE WILL "A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "UNIVERSE", a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as somethings separated from the rest- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." --- ALBERT EINSTEIN "Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make up the latitudes and the longitudes." --- Henry David Thoreau "To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!" --- Ralph Waldo Emerson More to come...
