“Finally, I would remind you to notice where the claim of consensus is invoked. Consensus is invoked only in situations where the science is not solid enough. Nobody says the consensus of scientists agrees that E=mc2. Nobody says the consensus is that the sun is 93 million miles away. It would never occur to anyone to speak that way.” WayEnoughSpeakSituationMillionsSunScientistClaimsAgreeMilesGlobal WarmingConsensusMiles Away Author:Michael Crichton
“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?

And when the earth shal claim your limbs,then shall you truly dance.” MayEarthDiesSilenceSunWindDrinkRiversClaimsBreathsCeaseNakedBreathingClimbsTidesRestlessLimbsDeath PoemsCondolences Poems Book:The Prophet - Der Prophet Source: The Prophet - Der Prophet
“Laments of an Icarus The paramours of courtesans Are well and satisfied, content. But as for me my limbs are rent Because I clasped the clouds as mine. I owe it to the peerless stars Which flame in the remotest sky That I see only with spent eyes Remembered suns I knew before. In vain I had at heart to find The center and the end of space. Beneath some burning, unknown gaze I feel my very wings unpinned And, burned because I beauty loved, I shall not know the highest bliss, And give my name to the abyss Which waits to claim me as its own.” KnowsGivingFeelsWellsHeartEndsEyeNamesStarsWaitingSpaceSunSkyMinesHighestClaimsWingsCloudsSatisfiedBurningVainRememberedFlamesBlissBurnedAbyssLimbsLamentIcarusCourtesans Author:Charles Baudelaire

“Also marvelous in a room is the light that comes through the windows of a room and that belongs to the room. The sun does not realize how beautiful it is until after a room is made. A man’s creation, the making of a room, is nothing short of a miracle. Just think, that a man can claim a slice of the sun.” ThinkingMenDoeMadeLightBeautifulRealizingRoomsSunCreationWindowMiracleClaimsMarvelous Author:Louis Kahn
