Quote of the Day

"There are so many different ways that a planet can lose it's atmosphere..
- it really is a miracle that we've still got ours.."

- Prof. Brian Cox

When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright are bright in dark directed.
Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
How would thy shadow's form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.

Shakespeare Sonnet 43

When you cannot make up your mind which of two evenly balanced courses of action you should take - choose the bolder.

Ezra pound

Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.

Theophrastus (372 BC - 287 BC)

“We need quiet time to examine our lives openly and honestly. . . spending quiet time alone gives your mind an opportunity to renew itself and create order.”

“True love doesn't have a happy ending, because true love never ends. Letting go is one way of saying I love you.” Anon
