“Our firmest convictions are apt to be the most suspect, they mark our limitations and our bounds. Life is a pretty thing unless it is moved by the indomitable urge to extend its boundaries.”
Jose Ortega y Gasset

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Steve Jobs

Stephen Jay Gould
“The old believe everything; the middle aged suspect everything: the young know everything.”
Oscar Wilde
