The artist formally known



"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" -Douglas Adams

"The infinite possibilities each day holds should stagger the mind. The sheer number of experiences I could have is uncountable, breathtaking, and I'm sitting here refreshing my inbox. We live in trapped loops, reliving a few days over and over, and we envision only a handful of paths laid out ahead of us. We see the same things each day, we respond the same way, we think the same thoughts, each day a slight variation of the last, every moment smoothly following the the gentle curves of societal norms. We act like if we just get through today, tomorrow our dreams will come back to us.
And no, I don't have all the answers. I don't know how to jolly myself into seeing what each moment could become. But I do know one thing: the solution doesn't involve watering down my every little idea and creative impulse for the sake of some day easing my fit into a mold. it doesn't involve tempering my life to better fit someone's expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up.
This is very important, so I want to say it as clearly as I can: Fuck. That. Shit." -xkcd

"If you are unwilling to deal with your past, your past is more than willing to deal with you" -Demetria L. Lucas

"It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace." -Chuck Palahniuk

"Be the change that you wish to see in the world" -Mahatma Gandhi

“It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas … If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you … On the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish the useful ideas from the worthless ones.” Carl Sagan

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. It was the experience of mystery " even if mixed with fear " that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds: it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity. In this sense, and only this sense, I am a deeply religious man." -Albert Einstein

"I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy, playing on the seashore, and diverting myself, in more and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." -Kepler

"I feign no hypotheses." -Sir Isaac Newton

“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough” -Albert Einstein

The artist formally known

"Stomach cancer is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time." -George Carlin

"We build too many walls and not enough bridges." -Sir Isaac Newton

"If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." -George Washington

"I'd be the best fucking rock out of all you guys." -Zack Carter

"He had too many squirrels Tyler!" -Zack Carter

The artist formally known

"The more muscles you have, the more you love yourself" -Zack Carter

"Men of broader intellect know that there is no sharp distinction betwixt the real and the unreal" -H. P. Lovecraft

"Man is simple, yet stupid. He will choose any possible way to avoid what is right and lean towards what is more convenient for him. However, when things take a turn for the worst, he will turn to the first person to give him an answer." -Richard M. Lacey

"Religion. It's given people hope in a world torn apart by religion."
-Jon Stewart

"Yes, reason has been a part of organized religion, ever since two nudists took dietary advice from a talking snake." -Jon Stewart

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able, and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God." -Epicurus

"There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, [and] science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works." -Stephen Hawking

"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." -Mahatma Gandhi

"One original thought is worth a thousand mindless quotings" -Diogenes

“I know that the molecules in my body are traceable to phenomena in the cosmos. That makes me want to grab people on the street and say: ‘Have you HEARD THIS?” -Neil deGrasse Tyson

"The author is always correct." -The author

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." -Arthur Schopenhauer

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle"

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"We judge others by their actions, but we judge ourselves by our intentions" -Ian Percy

“Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics. You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today.” -Lawrence M. Krauss
