Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The important thing is not to stop questioning. The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. The true value of a human being can be found in degrees to which he has attained liberation from the self. The value of achievement lies in the achieving. There are only two truly infinite things, the universe and stupidity. And I am unsure about the universe. Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means. Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves. Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity. We have to do the best we can. This is our sacred human responsibility. |
