“We play in the jungle gym of sexuality until our spirit takes us out into a clear field where we can see the stars, the ten thousand radiances of enlightenment. One of those radiances is the dance of sexuality.” PlaySpiritStarsClearFieldsBuddhismThousandTenEnlightenmentSexualityGymJungleRadiance Author:Frederick Lenz
“Surely it is a great thing to increase the numerous host of fixed stars previously visible to the unaided vision, adding countless more which have never before been seen, exposing these plainly to the eye in numbers ten times exceeding the old and familiar stars.” EyeStarsNumbersVisionTenIncreaseFamiliarGreat ThingsFixedVisibleHostExposing Author:Galileo Galilei
“I want to die at a hundred years old with an American flag on my back and the star of Texas on my helmet, after screaming down an Alpine descent on a bicycle at 75 miles per hour.

“Not far from the meeting's venue, at one of the famed Observatory Club tea meetings, Fred once started a talk by saying, 'Oh, Ooh, basically a star is a pretty simple thing.'

“We've begun at last to wonder about our origins, star stuff contemplating the stars, organized collections of ten billion billion billion atoms contemplating the evolution of matter, tracing that long path by which it arrived at consciousness here on the planet Earth and perhaps throughout the cosmos.

“If I owned any of these Hot New Issues that have doubled, tripled, quintupled or umptupled within days and in some cases hours after they were issued, I most certainly would grab my fabulous windfall, thank my lucky stars and invest the money. It's utter nonsense to think any newly issued stock is really worth two, ten or 20 times the [offering] price.... A management so stupid as to sell shares [cheap], and an underwriter so obtuse as not to discern the real value, together would provide reason enough for a sensible man to get rid of his shares.” IfsThinkingMenTwoRealReasonEnoughTogetherValuesStarsHoursCasesIssuesShareStupidLuckyTenHotManagementSellsNonsenseSensibleOfferingFabulousReal ValueLucky Star Author:Malcolm Forbes
“You know; when I look at the night sky and I see this enormous splendor of stars and galaxies, I sometimes ask the question, well how many worlds are we talking about? Well do the math, there are about 100 billion galaxies that are in the visible universe and each galaxy in turn contains about 100 billion stars, you multiply and you get about ten billion trillion stars. Well I think it is the height of arrogance to believe that we are alone in the universe, my attitude is that the universe is teaming, teaming with different kinds of life forms” ThinkingKnowsWorldBelieveWellsLooksKindDifferentSometimesFormNightTurnsUniverseAsksStarsAttitudeTalkingSkyTenMathBillionsEnormousHeightArroganceVisibleDifferent KindsGalaxySplendorNight SkyMy Attitude Author:Michio Kaku
“We are shut up in school and college recitation rooms for ten to fifteen years, and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing. We cannot use our hands, or our legs, or our eyes, or our arms. We do not know an edible root in the woods. We cannot tell our course by the stars, nor the hour of day by the sun. It is well if we can swim and skate. We are afraid of a horse or a cow, of a dog, of a cat, of a spider. Far better was the Roman rule to teach a boy nothing that he could not learn standing.” IfsKnowsYearsWellsUseHandsEyeSchoolLastsCoursesStarsHoursRoomsBoysTeachSunDogCollegeArmsTenStandingRootsCatHorseLegsWoodsSwimCowsFifteenShut UpSpidersSkatesFifteen YearsRecitation Book:The Laws of Nature: Excerpts from the Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson Source: The Laws of Nature: Excerpts from the Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I feel bad [about Lil Wayne going to jail], because I don't think anything like this has happened in music since Elvis got drafted into the Army. Let's just keep it real - Lil Wayne is not just the biggest rapper, Lil Wayne is the biggest pop star right now. Maybe Susan Boyle is on his level.

“I remembered a time when my grandmother had asked me to explain television to her - the guts, not the funny pictures. There are things which cannot be taught in ten easy lessons, nor popularized for the masses; they take years of skull sweat.
