Quotes

* Thoughts give birth to a creative force that is neither elemental nor sidereal. Thoughts create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy, from which new arts flow. When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven, as it were and from it the work that he desires to create flows into him. For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth.(Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus - German (Swiss-born) alchemist & physician (1493 - 1541))

* Not only is life a bitch, it has puppies.(Adrienne E. Gusoff - US teacher, humorist and greeting card writer )

* Those who are unhappy have no need for anything in this world but people capable of giving them their attention.(Simone Weil - French social philosopher (1909 - 1943))

* There are one-story intellects, two-story intellects, and three-story intellects with skylights. All fact collectors with no aim beyond their facts are one-story men. Two-story men compare reason and generalize, using labors of the fact collectors as well as their own. Three-story men idealize, imagine, and predict. Their best illuminations come from above through the skylight.(Oliver Wendell Holmes - US author & physician (1809 - 1894))
