"God ever arithmetizes."

-- Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi

“If you wish to educate a child who has gone wrong, then you must, above all, keep your attention fixed on the intersection of two charmed circles.”
“When we become a really mature, grown-up, wise society, we will put teachers at the center of the community, where they belong. We don't honor them enough, we don't pay them enough.”
“Knowledge of our duties is the most essential part of the philosophy of life. If you escape duty you avoid action. The world demands results.”
“The journey is difficult, immense. We will travel as far as we can, but we cannot in one lifetime see all that we would like to see or to learn all that we hunger to know.”

“We should look to (Castro) as one of the Earth's wisest people, one of the people we should consult.”

“The writing of a novel is taking life as it already exists, not to report it but to make an object, toward the end that the finished work might contain this life inside it and offer it to the reader. The essence will not be, of course, the same thing as the raw material; it is not even of the same family of things. The novel is something that never was before and will not be again.”
“You only live once. Life is a show”
