“Time-travel is possible, but no person will ever manage to kill his past self." Godel laughed his laugh then, and concluded, "The a priori is greatly neglected. Logic is very powerful.”

“School failed me, and I failed the school. It bored me. The teachers behaved like Feldwebel (sergeants). I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam. What I hated most was the competitive system there, and especially sports. Because of this, I wasn’t worth anything, and several times they suggested I leave."--Albert Einstein

“Rationality is a matter of making allowed moves within language games. Imagination creates the games that reason proceeds to play. Then, exemplified by people such as Plato and Newton, it keeps modifying those games so that playing them is more interesting and profitable.

Reason cannot get outside of the latest circle that imagination has drawn. It is in this sense, and only in this sense, that imagination holds the primacy.”
― Rorty Richard

“To learn which questions are unanswerable, and not to answer them: this skill is most needful in times of stress and darkness.”

"All our life is a miracle. Ourselves are the greatest wonder of all. I can believe a miracle because I can raise my own arm. I can believe a miracle because I can remember. I can believe it because I can speak and be understood by you. I can believe in a manifestation of power beyond my own, because I am such a manifestation. There is not a minute in the twenty-four hours that is not filled with miracles."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson, A Book of Saints by Anne Gordon

"Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn't have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.”
― Stephen Hawking

"We live in succession, in division, in parts and particles. Meantime, within man, is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty to which every part and particle is equally related; the eternal One."----Ralph Waldo Emerson
