I was looking through an old file of quotes on my laptop this evening. I’m not entirely sure what I was in search of, nor that I found it, but it did bring to mind some quotes I really like, and some things I need to think about again these days. Mostly so I don’t forget them, but also to set them out for you to ponder as well, here are a few:<\/p>\n

There are many degrees of sight and many degrees of blindness. What senses do we lack that we cannot see another world all around us?<\/p>\n

-Frank Herbert<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Love does not begin and end the way
\nwe seem to think it does.
\nLove is a battle, love is a war;
\nlove is a growing up.<\/p>\n

Love takes off masks that we fear
\nwe cannot live without and know we
\ncannot live within.<\/p>\n

– James Baldwin<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and techology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.”<\/p>\n

– Carl Sagan<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Love what you do. Get good at it. Competence is a rare commodity in this day and age.<\/p>\n

– Jon Stewart<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

-J. B. Priestley<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ow… Priestley, that was a little close to home.<\/em><\/p>\n

Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.<\/p>\n

– Oliver Wendell Holmes<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
