"The more you know, the more you owe."

-- Luis J. Rodriguez

“The history of men of science has one peculiar advantage, as it shows the importance of little things in producing great results. Smeaton learned his principle of constructing a lighthouse, by noticing the trunk of a tree to be diminished from a curve to a cyclinder ... and Newton, turning an old box into a water-clock, or the yard of a house into a sundial, are examples of those habits of patient observation which scientific biography attractively recommends.”
“I'm a fan of the planets in any combination. When I was born, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, the Sun, and the Moon were all in the sky.”
“The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar, is the test of their power.”
“People tell me they want to make the Bible relevant. Nonsense. The Bible's already relevant. You're the one that's irrelevant!”
“A user interface is well-designed when the program behaves exactly how the user thought it would.”

“Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of presence.”
“One of the main discoveries of meditation is seeing how we continually run away from the present moment, how we avoid being here just as we are. Thatâ€™s not considered to be a problem. The point is to see it.”
“Film is an illusion. Fame is ephemeral. Faith and family are what endure.”
