Nullius in verba I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. "Художник должен иметь что сказать, так как его задача - не владение формой, а приспособление этой формы к содержанию." Кандинский You are not the king of your brain. You are the creepy guy standing next to the king going “a most judicious choice, sire”. —Steven Kaas You are personally responsible for becoming more ethical than the society you grew up in. I wasn’t really sure I could take a three foot beaver, let alone one with a cockney accent. My name is Watanabe Eriko. I'm an upcoming Nobel Prize laureate, and reality is my bitch. If the sky is blue I desire to believe that the sky is blue If the sky is not blue I desire to believe that the sky is not blue. Let me not become attached to beliefs I may not want. What is true is already so. Owning up to it doesn't make it worse. Not being open about it doesn't make it go away. And because it's true, it is what is there to be interacted with. Anything untrue isn't there to be lived. People can stand what is true, for they are already enduring it. Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. Your beliefs clash with reality? Change your beliefs. This is what beliefs are for. Can't do this? May as well not bother having beliefs. Your morals conflict with reality? Change reality. This is what morals are for. Can't do this? May as well not bother having morals. Note though, relation isn't transitive. If your morals conflict with your beliefs, chances are you need to change reality, not beliefs. It is more probable that A, than that A and B. Think straight, talk straight When somebody tells you they want to help you figure out the evidence base behind different supplements, ask them about Vitamin D. If they say it’s useful for anything besides bone health, run away. Quatach-Ichl was a skeleton of his word. Критик должен быть готов в любой момент и по первому требованию заступить на место критикуемого им и исполнять его обязанности профессионально, компетентно и исчерпывающе; в противном случае критика превращается в наглую самодовлеющую силу и становится тормозом на пути культурного прогресса. Ты, что может быть разрушено правдой - должно быть разрушено — Дездемона! Я твой Ромео! "My honorable lord, I will most humbly take my leave of you. - You cannot, sir, take from me any thing that I will more willingly part withal—except my life, except my life, except my life."
