We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they’re called memories.
Some take us forward, they’re called dreams. Jeremy Irons

Creating a new theory is not like
destroying an old barn and erecting
a skyscraper in its place.
It is rather like climbing a mountain,
gaining new and wider views,
discovering unexpected connections
between our starting points
and its rich environment.
But the point from which we started out
still exists and can be seen,
although it appears smaller
and forms a tiny part of our broad view
gained by the mastery of the obstacles
on our adventurous way up.
Albert Einstein

After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.

If you must speak ill of another, do not speak it,
write it in the sand near the water’s edge.
