“For those who are of the household of faith, even during troublesome times, they must remember what God had already said about them in His word. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Charles, you have the ability to stand against the adversary. And remember, a lie or darkness is exposed when it's confronted with the light of truth.”

“आज सड़कों पर लिखे हैं सैंकड़ों नारे न देख घर अँधेरा देख तू आकाश के तारे न देख एक दरिया है यहाँ पर दूर तक फैला हुआ आज अपने बाजुओं को देख पतवारें न देख अब यक़ीनन ठोस है धरती हक़ीक़त की तरह यह हक़ीक़त देख, लेकिन ख़ौफ़ के मारे न देख वे सहारे भी नहीं अब जंग लड़नी है तुझे कट चुके जो हाथ ,उन हाथों में तलवारें न देख दिल को बहला ले इजाज़त है मगर इतना न उड़ रोज़ सपने देख, लेकिन इस क़दर प्यारे न देख ये धुँधलका है नज़र का,तू महज़ मायूस है रोज़नों को देख,दीवारों में दीवारें न देख राख, कितनी राख है चारों तरफ़ बिखरी हुई राख में चिंगारियाँ ही देख, अँगारे न देख.”

“My grief reminds me what is dear to my heart by what is no longer to be. Loss is a part of the movement of change, and the grief that accompanies loss is necessary in order to let the movement of change flow through. Tears are like a river releasing to open waters.”

“To understand this new frontier, I will have to try to master one of the most difficult and counterintuitive theories ever recorded in the annals of science: quantum physics. Listen to those who have spent their lives immersed in this world and you will have a sense of the challenge we face. After making his groundbreaking discoveries in quantum physics, Werner Heisenberg recalled, "I repeated to myself again and again the question: Can nature possibly be so absurd as it seemed to us in these atomic experiments?" Einstein declared after one discovery, "If it is correct it signifies the end of science." Schrödinger was so shocked by the implications of what he'd cooked up that he admitted, "I do not like it and I am sorry I had anything to do with it." Nevertheless, quantum physics is now one of the most powerful and well-tested pieces of science on the books. Nothing has come close to pushing it off its pedestal as one of the great scientific achievements of the last century. So there is nothing to do but to dive headfirst into this uncertain world. Feynman has some good advice for me as I embark on my quest: "I am going to tell you what nature behaves like. If you will simply admit that maybe she does behave like this, you will find her a delightful, entrancing thing. Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possibly avoid it, 'But how can it be like that?' because you will get 'down the drain,' into a blind alley from which nobody has yet escaped. Nobody knows how it can be like that.”

“Just 3 years of research between 2009 and 2012 witnessed a profound change in archaeological understanding of the geoglyphs of the southwestern Amazon. Previously they'd been thought to be just 750 years old; now, without any real attention being drawn to the implications, they'd become 2,000 years old. To put this in context, an error and subsequent correction on a similar scale would certainly attract a great deal of attention if it concerned Western architecture--indeed it would be like discovering that the great Gothic cathedrals of Europe such as Chartres and York Minster were not, in fact, works of the late medieval period but had actually been built by the Romans.”
