“I know a planet where there is a certain red-faced gentleman. He has never smelled a flower. He has never looked at a star. He has never loved any one. He has never done anything in his life but add up figures. And all day he says over and over, just like you: 'I am busy with matters of consequence!' And that makes him swell up with pride. But he is not a man - he is a mushroom!” KnowsMenMatterDoneCertainStarsFiguresPlanetsFlowerLike YouPrideConsequenceRedAddBusyGentlemanMushrooms Author:Antoine de Saint-Exupery

“The Revelation of Sonmi 451 To be is to be perceived, and so to know thyself is only possible through the eyes of the other.

“You've got to learn to let go and let your children fall, and fail. If you try to protect them from hurt, and always rush to their side with Band-Aids, they won't learn about life, and what is true, what works, what helps, and what are real consequences of certain kinds of behavior. When they do get hurt, which they will, they won't know how to take care of their grown selves.

“Intelligence is an extremely subtle concept. It's a kind of understanding that flourishes if it's combined with a good memory, but exists anyway even in the absence of good memory. It's the ability to draw consequences from causes, to make correct inferences, to foresee what might be the result, to work out logical problems, to be reasonable, rational, to have the ability to understand the solution from perhaps insufficient information. You know when a person is intelligent, but you can be easily fooled if you are not yourself intelligent.” IfsKnowsKindPersonsProblemMightScienceCausesUnderstandingMemoriesAbilityResultsInformationSolutionsDrawsConceptsConsequenceIntelligentWork OutAbsenceRationalReasonableSubtleLogicalFooledGood MemoriesInsufficientInference Author:Isaac Asimov
