"Maturity begins to grow when you can sense your concern for others outweighing your concern for yourself." - John Macnaughton ***** "Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life -- its material plentitude, its sheer crowdedness -- conjoin to dull our sensory faculties ... What is important now is to recover our senses. We must learn to see more, to hear more, to feel more." - Susan Sontag ***** "It's not that I'm so smart. It's just that I stay with problems longer." - Albert Einstein ***** "For every complex question there is a simple answer, and it is wrong." - H. L. Mencken
