“Some men at the approach of a dispute neigh like horses. Unless there be an argument, they think nothing is doing. Some talkers excel in the precision with which they formulate their thoughts, so that you get from them somewhat to remember; others lay criticism asleep by a charm. Especially women use words that are not words,--as steps in a dance are not steps,--but reproduce the genius of that they speak of; as the sound of some bells makes us think of the bell merely, whilst the church chimes in the distance bring the church and its serious memories before us.” ThinkingMenUseRememberSpeakSoundChurchMemoriesStepsSeriousGeniusApproachArgumentCriticismHorseLaysDistanceCharmBellsDisputesPrecisionTalkersChimes Author:Ralph Waldo Emerson

“However, for the man who studies to gain insight, books and studies are merely rungs of the ladder on which he climbs to the summit of knowledge. As soon as a rung has raised him up one step, he leaves it behind. On the other hand, the many who study in order to fill their memory do not use the rungs of the ladder for climbing, but take them off and load themselves with them to take away, rejoicing at the increasing weight of the burden. They remain below forever, because they bear what should have bourne them.” MenShouldBookUseHandsOrderMemoriesBehindsStepsForeverStudyHe ManBearsGainsShould HaveWeightRaisedBurdenInsightClimbsClimbingRejoiceLoadLaddersSummitBourne Book:101 Facts of life Source: 101 Facts of life

“Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error in judgment. When a bunch of people begin to do it, it is a social error, a life-style.

“There is also a particular area of sleep called slow-wave sleep. I immediately liked this idea. It turns out this part of sleep is where the brain basically gets into step with itself and gets into this one single phase of these relatively slow brain waves - around 10 Hz or so - and the whole brain 'fires all at once'. This is a brilliant bit of sleep where we consolidate memory and learning, and memory is one of my obsessions really.” IdeasWholeTurnsBitsMemoriesSleepBrainStepsFireParticularAreasWaveBrilliantObsessionPhases Author:Max Richter
