own existence. ~ Frank Zappa

In every American there is an air of incorrigible innocence, which
seems to conceal a diabolical cunning. ~ A. E. Housman

I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience.
And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning,
science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable
one, of being true. ~ Carl Sagan

Storms, Assumptions, Vision

I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.
~ Louisa May Alcott

Before you begin a thing, remind yourself that difficulties and delays
quite impossible to foresee are ahead. If you could see them clearly,
naturally you could do a great deal to get rid of them but you can't.
You can only see one thing clearly and that is your goal. Form a
mental vision of that and cling to it through thick and thin.
~ Kathleen Norris
