“Thoughts are the propositions of internal language, and reasoning involves a possible combination of the content of these propositions. Religion supports you with one, science another content of the same object in terms of various symbols. Their symbols are different, in most cases inconsistent. The combinational power of symbols, as well as their capacity to represent objects in external world is not intrinsic features of the symbols on their own. The symbols on paper gain these capacities in virtue of a human agent, whose brain gives them some meanings. Related to science, this fact is obvious and doubtless, because science is considered, unequivocally, to be a production of the brain so that if the brain design was different in all humans, the vision that science offers would be different, too. Considering it, it can be said that there is a correlation between science and brain design. However, in relation to religion, it can be contestable to claim the existence such a correlation, because religion pretends to express only divine will and insists on having less or no connection with subjective brain experiences. At this point emerges one of the major differences between science and religion with regard to the truth. Neither science nor religion can provide definitely clear vision of reality, both of them comprise some distorted truth, however, it is possible to trace back only to the origin of scientific 'distortion', following the way of correlation between science and brain design.”

“Thoughts at a Café Table
Between the Kazan and the Iron Gates
Progress has now placed the whole of this landscape underwater. A traveller sitting at my old table on the quay at Orsova would have to peer at the scenery through a thick brass-hinged disc of glass; this would frame a prospect of murk and slime [...] Moving a couple of miles downstream, he would fumble his way on to the waterlogged island and among the drowned Turkish houses; or, upstream, flounder among the weeds and rubble choking Count Széchenyi's road and peer across the dark gulf at the vestiges of Trajan on the other side; and all round him, above and below, the dark abyss would yawn and the narrows where currents once rushed and cataracts shuddered from bank to bank and echoes zigzagged along the vertiginous clefts would be sunk in diluvian since. [...]
He could toil many days up these cheerless soundings, for Rumania and Yugoslavia have built one of the world's biggest ferro-concrete dams and hydro-electric power plants across the Iron Gates. This has turned a hundred and thirty miles of the Danube into a vast pond which has swollen and blurred the course of the river beyond recognition. It has abolished cayons, turned beetling crags into mild hills and ascended the beautiful Cerna valley almost to the Baths of Hercules. Many thousands of the inhabitabnts of Orşova and the riparian hamlets had to be uprooted and transplanted elsewhere. The islanders of Ada Kaleh have been moved to another islet downstream and their old home has vanished under the still surface as though it has never been. Let us hope that the power generated by the dam has spread well-being on either bank and lit up Rumanian and Yugoslav towns brighter than ever before because, in everything but economics, the damage is irreparrable.
[... M]yths, lost voices, history and hearsay have all been put to rout, leaving nothing but this valley of shadow. Goethe's advice, 'Bewahre Dich vor Räuber und Ritter und Gespenstergeschichten',* has been taken literally, and everything has fled.

“Thoughts… Be aware of what you’re thinking about. Make sure that you’re not allowing your mind to be preoccupied with a person or a problem so much so that it’s all you think about, talk about, dream about or feel about. If you’re connecting your problems and issues to everything that other people are saying and doing, you’re obsessing and you are disconnected from God.”
