Study is like the light that illuminates the darkness
of ignorance, and the resulting knowledge is the supreme
possession because it cannot be taken by even the greatest
of thieves. Study is the weapon that eliminates the enemy
of ignorance. It is also the best friend to guide us
through all our difficult times.
- The Dalai
Lama
Humanity needs practical men, who get the most out of
their work, and, without forgetting the general good,
safeguard their own interests. But humanity also needs

enterprise is so captivating that it becomes impossible for
them to devote their care to their own material profit.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the
mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all

A human being is a part of a whole, called by us
'universe', a part limited in time and space. He
experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something
separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of
his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for
us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection
for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free
ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of
compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of
nature in its beauty.

Einstein

It is not enough to say I made a mistake. You must

Experimental Medicine, 1865
There's a time when the operation of the machine
becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you
can't take part, you can't even passively take part, and
you've got to put your bodies on the gears and upon the
wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've
got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the
people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless
you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at
all!
- Mario Savio, 1964
The worst form of inequality is to try to make
unequal things equal.

Common sense is nothing more than a deposit of
prejudices laid down by the mind before you reach
eighteen.

Einstein
