“I call worldly or earthly those whose minds and hearts are fixed on a tiny portion of this world they live in, which is our earth; who respect and love nothing beyond it: people as limited as what they call their property or their estate, which can be measured, whose acres can be counted, whose boundaries can be shown.” MenMindWellsHeartEarthValuesUniverseKnownLimitsAnd LoveSpotsFixedEstatesWell KnownWorldlyHeart And MindSmall PartsAcresCoarse Author:Jean de la Bruyere
“The freedom of an individual depends upon that individual's freedom to alter his considerations of space, energy, time and life and his roles in it. If he cannot change his mind about these, he is then fixed and enslaved amidst barriers such as those of the physical universe, and barriers of his own creation. Man thus is seen to be enslaved by barriers of his own creation. He creates these barriers himself, or by agreeing with things which hold these barriers to be actual.” IfsMenMindUniverseIndividualEnergySpaceRolesCreationDependsFixedConsiderationBarriersLife And Time Author:L.

“The Hubbell space telescope, it's first year up after they fixed it, categorized and counted 500 billion galaxies in any one photograph field of view of dark matter. That's like grains of sand at the beach and you've just got a handful. It's massive amounts. I'm sure that of all of the galaxies, and I'm sure the universe is teeming with life.” YearsFirstsMatterUniverseDarkSpaceViewsFieldsAmountPhotographBillionsBeachFixedSandMassiveGrainGalaxyHandfulTelescopesGrains Of SandDark Matter Author:Alex Jones
“To the engineer, all matter in the universe can be placed into one of two categories: (1) things that need to be fixed, and (2) things that will need to be fixed after you've had a few minutes to play with them. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems. Normal people don't understand this concept; they believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.” PeopleIfsNeedsBelieveTwoMatterEnoughPlayProblemUniverseMinutesNormalConceptsAvailableBrokeFeaturesFixedCategoriesEngineersNo Problem Author:Scott Adams
