Magic

One of my favorite quotes!

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Arthur C. Clarke, “Profiles of The Future”, 1961 (Clarke’s third law)

On a recent trip to Germany, opened my dictionary from high school and found prose that I recorded:

The kernel of all jealousy is a lack of love

- C. Jung

And:

Courage, love, friendship,

Compassion, and empathy

Lift us above the simple beasts

And define humanity.

- The Book of Counted Sorrows

And one more discovered recently:

Beauty must be constantly recreated as truth

- jean-christophe ammann
