Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.
Lao Tzu
“Suddenly this defeat.
This rain.
The blues gone gray
And the browns gone gray
And yellow
A terrible amber.
In the cold streets
Your warm body.
In whatever room
Your warm body.
Among all the people
Your absence
The people who are always
Not you.
I have been easy with trees
Too long.
Too familiar with mountains.
Joy has been a habit.
Now
Suddenly
This rain.”
― Jack Gilbert
Be polite even to those who are rude to you, not because they are, but because of you are.
John Reyes
My mommy always taught me to do what's right. To wash behind my ears and try to be polite. You see, she loves me so!

Teamwork is the ability to work as a group toward a common vision, even if that vision had become confused.
Teamwork divides the task and multiplies the personal and team success.
Together Everyone Achieves More and Better.
Together We will achieve something amazing.
Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.
~Joseph Campbell
Home computers are being called upon to perform many new functions, including the consumption of homework formerly eaten by the dog.
~Doug Larson
Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living.
~Nicholas Negroponte
After growing wildly for years, the field of computing appears to be reaching its infancy.

Computers have lots of memory but no imagination.

" Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well."
" Read Homer once, and you can read no more. For all books else appear so mean, and so poor. Verse will seem prose; but still persist to read, and Homer will be all the books you need."

A lot of people talk about lies and use the word honesty to oppose to lies, to be honest is not only to not lie, honesty is much more than that.
Honesty is truth in all his strands: telling, speaking, living, loving ...

Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind.
William Shakespeare
Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.
Voltaire
In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.
Immanuel Kant
It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one.
Voltaire
The real power of the Buddha was that he had so much love. He saw people trapped in their notions of small separate self, feeling guilty or proud of that self, and he offered revolutionary teachings that resounded like a lion's roar, like a great rising tide, helping people to wake up and break free from the prison of ignorance.
Nhat Hanh
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Carl Jung
God has entrusted me with myself.
Epictetus
Keith Urban – Everybody Lyrics
So, here you are now, nowhere to turn
It's just the same old yesterday
You made a promise to yourself
That you were never gonna be this way
And the only thing that you've ever known is to run
So you keep on driving faster into the sun
But everybody needs somebody sometimes
Yeah, everybody needs somebody sometimes
You don't have to find your own way out
You've got a voice; let it be heard
Just when it feels you're on a dead-end road
There's always somewhere left to turn
So don't give up now
You're so close to a brand new day
Yes, you are
And if you just can bare to be alone, then I'll stay
'Cause everybody needs somebody sometimes
Yeah, everybody needs somebody sometimes
Well, maybe I've been too caught up
To see what you've been going through
All that I can say is that I'm here now
And everybody needs somebody sometimes
You know they do
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
Everybody needs somebody sometimes

We are meant to rely on our fellow human beings from the day we are born. No baby can take care of itself. Although we are much more self-reliant as adults we still have to rely on others.
It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.
Max Planck
The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
Robert A. Heinlein

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me.
...
Always, no sometimes, think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree

“But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
To me, you will be unique in all the world.
To you, I shall be unique in all the world.”

Sometimes things and people just go. Just like that.
Is the biggest feeling that a part of us is missing,
when we dont know what happened,
why it happened,
and people that we once knew just arent there.
Emptiness in ones heart ...
You can decorate absence however you want- but your still gonna feel what’s missing.
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus
One step to begin and better go slowly because the journey is very long and I am in a hurry.

BEST SENTENCE FOR ME
Let's keep all the families that are involved with the terrorist attacks in our thoughts and prayers.
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Albert Camus
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Thomas Jefferson
“All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.”
― Sophocles, Antigone
My real treasure is inside my heart, is in there that I keep all the good things of my life.
If one day I deny my heart, I am denying the best part of me.

Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst.
An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot.
Thomas Paine
To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.
Sun Tzu
Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
Marcus Aurelius
We're in a giant car heading towards a brick wall and everyone's arguing over where they're going to sit.
David Suzuki
A man lives by believing something: not by debating and arguing about many things.

“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”
― Virginia Woolf
“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.”

“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.”
― Milan Kundera
The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them, and others you don't. But, in the end, they're the people you always come home to. Sometimes it's the family you're born into and sometimes it's the one you make for yourself.
Sex And The City
If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance
George Bernard Shaw
There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of human society, are created, strengthened and maintained
Winston Churchill
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together
Erma Bombeck
If the family were a fruit, it would be an orange, a circle of sections, held together but separable - each segment distinct
Letty Cottin Pogrebin
Nearly 35% of the 2,490 teachers enrolled in the evaluation test on Portugal, that gave a valid test, failed the test, and nearly 290 had their second failure.
Something to think about on Our Children Education.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some hire public relations officers.
The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge.
Technology is so much fun but we can drown in our technology. The fog of information can drive out knowledge.
A best-seller was a book which somehow sold well because it was selling well.
The celebrity is a person who is known for his well-knownness.
Reading is like the sex act - done privately, and often in bed.
The force of the advertising word and image dwarfs the power of other literature in the 20th century.
Daniel J. Boorstin
We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.
THOMAS JEFFERSON
I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself.
RONALD REAGAN
One thought of my own.
Politicians and economist think that Greece is doomed and must pay immediately, the people in Greece think different.
Isnt the will of the people something we must respect?
Germany thinks Greece should pay all their debts on Germany schedule, Greece thinks German should pay all their debts to Greece from WWII.
We cant condemn one all generation to poverty, not in Germany and not in Greece.
People forget very fast and get more and more greedy and what is GREED, if I may ask?
Deep down, the US, with its space, its technological refinement, its bluff good conscience, even in those spaces which it opens up for simulation, is the only remaining primitive society.
Jean Baudrillard
The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that's an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer.
David Deutsch
The Blue Brain project expects to have a full human-scale simulation of the cerebral cortex by 2018. I think that's a little optimistic, actually, but I do make the case that by 2029 we will have very detailed models and simulations of all the different brain regions.
Ray Kurzweil
Personally I'm hoping to spend the last years of my life plugged into a real life MMORPG simulation that makes me think and feel like I'm 18 again while my 90 year old body lies in a tube somewhere getting fed thru an IV. Be a great way to finish up a life.
