To will freedom and to will to disclose being are one and the same choice; hence, freedom takes a positive and constructive step which causes being to pass to existence in a movement which is constantly surpassed.
-Simone de Beauvoir

Nothing endures but change.
-Heraclitus

Emotions are not just the fuel that powers the psychological mechanism of a reasoning creature, they are parts, highly complex and messy parts, of this creature’s reasoning itself.
-Prof. Martha C. Nussbaum

Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is the pedagogical paradox. The person and the teacher is required precisely because the knowledge itself is nontransferable from teacher to student.
― Dr. Rebecca Goldstein, Plato at the Googleplex: Why Philosophy Won't Go Away

Science arose from poetry--when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.
-Hypatia of Alexandria

I once had a vision of the earth, spinning, and smooth water clinging to her breast. The centrifugal outward force juxtaposed with the pull of the mass of the planet. There, harmony; there, perfect peace; there in the midst of violent action, two forces dissolve themselves into a third which is neither. I characterized that attraction as love and the understanding of the union of opposites was revealed to me.
-Ray Eales, "Magick and Film", The "Red" Equinox VII:I

Each "followed such a profession as was most proper for the nature of their Species, which the Empress encouraged them in, especially those that had applied themselves to the study of several Arts and Sciences; for they were as ingenious and witty in the invention of profitable and useful Arts, as we are in our world, nay, more; and to that end she erected Schools, and founded several Societies.”
― Margaret Cavendish, The Blazing World (1666)

  Newton, by William Blake Speeches clearly define our conspiratorial edge. Where'st spoken of nerve and fiber, toes in glue, that stick with every advance. Twigs burn in a distant pool-- quiet memory of a scribe gone mad. The Nobles...
