“Rewind the Film
I wish I had a film of you.
I’d love to see you move again,
to see the gestures that I knew
when you were here, as we were then,
and know I’d not forgotten what
was true of you and what was not.
I’d watch as if through window panes
and you still moved beyond the glass,
knowing memory remains
although the years and lives must pass,
and from your movements could infer
the unity of what you were.
Perhaps I’d hear your voice again,
if no more than a sound or two,
and know it as I knew it when
we rested on the grass, and you
would close your eyes and feel the sun
as if the end had not begun.
I’d know that what I heard and saw
was not the shadow of my mind
and know you almost as before,
when in the outward form I’d find
the creature that I couldn’t see
or hear, and all you were to me,
as if I felt a wind that blew
across that insubstantial day
or sun illuminating you
because I’ve felt the sunlight play
on flesh, and though the hours pass
had reached the world beyond the glass.”

“Rewiring Divinity, 2732
(Diary of A Monk Scientist)
One thing you must realize,
there is no absolute truth in this world,
whatever you put your life and mind into, goes.
I found the world's perception
of religion prehistoric,
so I poured my existence into rewiring
the very reality of divinity -
because, there is no other divinity out there,
whatever we humans come up with, goes -
and if some prehistoric baboons with two brain cells
could normalize blind faith as divinity,
then a human being with a hundred billion nerve cells,
could cast aside such blindness and redo divinity
from ground up, and this time, not as a coping mechanism
against the unknown, but as enhancement of our humanity.”

“Rewiring education ultimately means changing the way we teach the things we want today's students to learn. It should no longer be about distributing content and memorizing meaningless facts, but about teaching kids to combine new understandings of these facts with critical and creative thinking skills that ultimately lead them to discover, understand, and create new things.”

“Rewolucja naukowa nie była rewolucją wiedzy. Jeśli już, to była rewolucją niewiedzy. Wielkim odkryciem, które utorowało drogę rewolucji naukowej, było uzmysłowienie sobie przez ludzi, że nie znają odpowiedzi na swoje najważniejsze pytania.”

“Rewolucja rosyjska znajduje się zatem między Scyllą a Charybdą. Jeżeli zechce wyrwać się z pętli ludobójstwa zawierając odrębny pokój, zdradzi międzynarodowy proletariat i swój własny los na rzecz imperializmu niemieckiego. Jeżeli natomiast nie będzie mogła sama doprowadzić do powszechnego pokoju, pozostanie jej tylko do wyboru albo aktywne prowadzenie wojny, a wtedy będzie działała na rzecz imperializmu Ententy, albo bierny udział w wojnie, tzn. zachowanie pod względem wojskowym bezczynności, czym równie niewątpliwie poprze interesy imperializmu niemieckiego. Takie jest prawdziwe położenie republiki rosyjskiej – położenie tragiczne, którego w najmniejszym stopniu nie może zmieniać piękna formuła pokojowa, powitana przez wszystkich jako zbawienne, magiczne słowo.”

“Rewriting is the essence of writing well - where the game is won or lost.”
“Rewriting is the essence of writing well: it's where the game is won or lost. The idea is hard to accept. We all have emotional equity in our first draft; we can't believe that it wasn't born perfect. But the odds are close to 100 percent that it wasn't.”
“Rewriting is when writing really gets to be fun. . . . In baseball you only get three swings and you're out. In rewriting, you get almost as many swings as you want and you know, sooner or later, you'll hit the ball.”
