“Normal is an ideal. But it’s not reality. Reality is brutal, it’s beautiful, it’s every shade between black and white, and it’s magical. Yes, magical. Because every now and then, it turns nothing into something.”

"If dark nights must come, let them come.
Open your doors.
Let them come, my dear, and ask them what they want.
Maybe all they want is your presence. Nothing else.
Maybe all they want to do is to hold you so close and polish you secretly, without telling anyone–
Maybe that is all they want.
Know that deep inside they hold ten thousand fragrant mornings. They hold the source of laughter.
They hold life."
~ Guthema Roba

And never forget that writing is as close as we get to keeping a hold on the thousand and one things--childhood, certainties, cities, doubts, dreams, instants, phrases, parents, loves--that go on slipping , like sand, through our fingers.”

“The speed of 299.796 kilometres a second, which occupies a unique position in every measure-system, is commonly referred to as the speed of light. But it is much more than that; it is the speed at which the mass of matter becomes infinite, lengths contract to zero, clocks stand still.”
― Arthur Stanley Eddington, The Nature Of The Physical World

"I have observed electrical actions, which have appeared inexplicable. Faint and uncertain though they were, they have given me a deep conviction and foreknowledge, that ere long all human beings on this globe, as one, will turn their eyes to the firmament above, with feelings of love and reverence, thrilled by the glad news: "Brethren! We have a message from another world, unknown and remote. It reads: one… two… three…"---Nikola Tesla
