The opposite of good is not evil. It’s indifference. \u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u00a0Abraham Joshua Heschel<\/strong><\/p>\n

He wrapped himself in quotations – as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of Emperors.\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u00a0Rudyard Kipling<\/a><\/p>\n

Crowns do queer things to the heads beneath them.\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u00a0George R.R. Martin<\/p>\n

Digiphrenia \u00e2\u20ac\u201c how technology lets us be in more than one place \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and self – at the same time. Drone pilots suffer more burnout than real-world pilots, as they attempt to live in two worlds – home and battlefield – simultaneously. We all become overwhelmed until we learn to distinguish between data flows (like Twitter) that can only be dipped into, and data storage (like books and emails) that can be fully consumed.\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u00a0Douglas Rushkoff – Present Shock<\/a><\/p>\n

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars – mere globs of gas atoms. I too can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more? The vastness of the heavens stretches my imagination – stuck on this carousel my little eye can catch one – million – year – old light. A vast pattern – of which I am a part\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 What is the pattern, or the meaning, or the why? It does not do harm to the mystery to know a little about it. For far more marvelous is the truth than any artists of the past imagined it. Why do the poets of the present not speak of it? What men are poets who can speak of Jupiter if he were a man, but if he is an immense spinning sphere of methane and ammonia must be silent?.\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u00a0Richard Feynman<\/p>\n

While he lives, he must think; while he thinks, he must dream.\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u00a0Isaac Asimov<\/p>\n

Censorship is telling a man he can’t have a steak just because a baby can’t chew it. \u00e2\u20ac\u2022 Mark Twain<\/p>\n

We must be the change we want to see.\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u2022\u00c2\u00a0Mahatma Gandhi<\/p>\n
