“The sun still shines on Summer's leaves as Spring's leaves grow old, and Fall's weather grows cold. Fall seasons sweep them up and them out, while Winter communicates with cool winds. Snowflakes break their news release to the Earth, announcing its time to trend the season's way in; while 'mediarologists' report the fact updates & histories about weather's who, what why, how and when.”

“Este imposibil de știut câți ani va trăi un om sau în ce fel va muri. Viața este ca uleiul dintr-o lampă. Poate fi măsurat dar ritmul în care arde depinde de cum este rotit zi de zi cadranul, de cât de strălucitoare și înverșunată este flacăra. Și nu poți prezice dacă lampa ar putea fi răsturnată și spulberată, când ar fi putut să ardă încă mult timp. Viața este imprevizibilă. Este bine că nu ai multe întrebări; eu nu am niciun răspuns.”

“…it can hardly be over-exaggerated that speculative thinking is always drawn from the necessities of the time, that it is always practical, that it always shifts with the interests of the times, with the changes of social, economic, and political conditions, and finally, that it is vain to hope to find an eternal, fixed, and immutable system of philosophy, and still hope for progress. A fixed system is applicable only to a dead society.”
