Degenerate Matter

I think the title is self-explanatory…

1) “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find anything that agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
- Siddhartha Gautama (The Buddha)

2) “The eyes are the groin of the face”
-Dwight Schrute, Scranton Branch; Dunder Mifflin Paper Inc

3) “The scientific objective world is not the world of real life. It is a highly sophisticated artifact, created by multiple operations which effectively and efficiently exclude immediate experience in all its apparent capriciousness from its order of discourse.”
-R.D. Laing (via my wife)

4) “Science lights, but cannot warm.” – Herman Melville (via my wife)

5) “Teaching is the greatest act of optimism.” – Colleen Willcox

6) “The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.” – Mark van Doren
