Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. The detective must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor. He talks as the man of his age talks, that is, with rude wit, a lively sense of the grotesque, a disgust for sham, and a contempt for pettiness.

~ Raymond Chandler

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.

~ Albert Einstein

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

~ Douglas Adams

Adventures

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

~ Albert Einstein

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

Einstein Counting

"Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."
