One day Albert Einstein wrote on a black board:

9 x 1 = 9
9 x 2 = 18
9 x 3 = 27
9 x 4 = 36
9 x 5 = 45
9 x 6 = 54
9 x 7 = 63
9 x 8 = 72
9 x 9 = 81
9 x 10 = 91

In class, everyone laughed at him because of his mistake at the end of the list. Einstein waited until everyone was silent and explained:

"Although I answered the first nine questions correctly, nobody congratulated me. But when I made a mistake, everyone laughed at me. That means that despite our many successes, society will note our smallest mistake and enjoy it.

Don't let simple criticism destroy your dreams. Only those who do nothing make no mistakes."

Love is the only resource that grows the more you use it.

If you’re exhausted, rest.
If you don’t feel like starting a new project, don’t.
If you don’t feel the urge to make something new, just rest in the beauty of the old, the familiar, the known.
If you don’t feel like talking, stay silent.
If you’re fed up with the news, turn it off.
If you want to postpone something until tomorrow, do it.
If you want to do nothing, let yourself do nothing today.
Feel the fullness of the emptiness, the vastness of the silence, the sheer life in your unproductive moments.
Time does not always need to be filled.
You are enough, simply in your being.
~ Jeff Foster





Real magic takes time... and a lot of it. The most brilliant things on earth are usually eons in the making. Like crystals growing in the deep, the biggest miracles often form far beneath the surface, and need a long fertile stretch of darkness before they can come to light. As we enter into this season of miracles, magic and candlelight it’s good to remember that slowness is usually the missing ingredient to real
enchantment.

My quote comes from a book series by Louise Penny.

“There are four things that lead to wisdom. They are four sentences we learn to say, and mean. I don't know. I need help. I'm sorry. I was wrong.”

Just heard this for the first time a few minutes ago.  It was on Lex Fridman's podcast.  He has the most intelligent, most interesting people on his podcast.  I'm really looking forward to the Vladamir Putin episode in the future.  Elon Musk spent almost three hours talking with him last week.

"Nobody in this world can tell me what to think, but I think everybody has a lesson to teach me."

It's like embracing being stubborn, and being open minded simultaneously.  

Social distancing since 1975. It's all just sunshine, shit, stardust, and some water.

"Man was created by water to carry itself uphill."

It seems absurd, but considering we're 70% water (not to mention we're kind of like miniature oceans with thousands+ of life forms inside of us) it's kind of plausible.

Not saying I believe it, just saying it made me think.

"In the dominant society, though, ceremony seems to have withered away. I suppose there are many reasons for that: the frenetic pace of life, dissolution of community, the sense that ceremony is an artifact of organized religion forced upon participants rather than a celebration joyfully chosen."

An extended quote. One of the best scenes in The Beatles "A Hard Day's Night" is where George Harrison wanders into the corporate marketing office at the television studio.


Simon Marshall: We'd like you to give us your opinion on some clothes for teenagers.
George: Oh, by all means. I'd be quite prepared for that eventuality.
Simon: Well, not your real opinion, naturally. It'll be written out, and you'll learn it. [to Dolly, the secretary] Can he read?
George: 'Course I can.
Simon: I mean lines, ducky, can you handle lines?
George: Well, I'll have a bash.
Simon: Good. Give him whatever it is they drink, uh, Coke-a-rama?
George: Ta.
Simon: Well, at least he's polite. Show him the shirts, Adrian. [Adrian, Simon's assistant, hands George some shirts] Now, you'll like these. You'll really "dig" them. They're "fab," and all the other pimply hyperboles.
George: [unimpressed] I wouldn't be seen dead in them. They're dead grotty.
Simon: "Grotty"?
George: Yeah, grotesque.
Simon: [To Dolly] Make a note of that word and give it to Susan. It's rather touching, really. Here's this kid, trying to give me his utterly valueless opinion, when I know for a fact that within a month, he'll be suffering from a violent inferiority complex and loss of status, because he isn't wearing one of these nasty things. Of course they're grotty, you wretched nit. That's why they were designed. But that's what you'll want.
George: I won't.
Simon: You can be replaced, chickie baby.
George: I don't care.
Simon: And that pose is out too, Sonny Jim. The new thing is to care passionately and be right-wing. Anyway, if you don't cooperate, you won't meet Susan.
George: And who's this Susan when she's at home?
Simon: Only Susan Canby, our resident teenager. You'll have to love her, she's your symbol.
George: Oh, you mean that posh bird who gets everything wrong?
Simon: I beg your pardon?
George: Oh, yeah. The lads frequently sit 'round the television and watch her for a giggle. In fact, once, we all sat down and wrote these letters, saying how gear she was and all that rubbish.
Simon: She's a trendsetter. It's her profession.
George: She's a drag - a well-known drag. We turn the sound down on her and say rude things.
Simon: [horrified] Get him out of here...
George: Have I said something amiss?
Simon: Get him out. He's knocking the program's image.
George: Sorry about the shirts.
Simon: Get him out!
Adrian: You don't think he's a new phenomenon, do you?
Simon: You mean an early clue to the new direction? Where's the calendar? [examines symbols on the calendar] No. It's all right. He's just a troublemaker. The change isn't due for three weeks yet. All the same, make a note not to extend Susan's contract. Let's not take any unnecessary chances.

"I think that the Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity rather than accumulation, where wealth and security come from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency. Without gift relationships with bees and birds, Serviceberries would disappear from the planet. Even if they hoarded abundance, perching atop the wealth ladder, they would not save themselves from the fate of extinction if their partners did not share in that abundance. Hoarding won’t save us either. All flourishing is mutual."

Appropriate to the season is the scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian where Brian attempts to deliver an impromptu sermon to a street crowd:

BRIAN: …Consider the lilies… in the field…
ELSIE: Consider the lilies?
BRIAN: Uh, well, the birds, then.
EDDIE: What birds?
BRIAN: Any birds.
EDDIE: Why?
BRIAN: Well, have they got jobs?
ARTHUR: Who?
BRIAN: The birds.
EDDIE: Have the birds got jobs?!!
FRANK: What’s the matter with him?
ARTHUR: He says the birds are scrounging.
BRIAN: Oh, uhh, no, the point is the birds. They do all right. Don’t they?
FRANK: Well, good luck to ’em.
EDDIE: Yeah. They’re very pretty.
BRIAN: Okay, and you’re much more important than they are, right? So, what are you worrying about? There you are. See?
EDDIE: I’m worrying about what you have got against birds.
BRIAN: I haven’t got anything against the birds. Consider the lilies.
ARTHUR: He’s having a go at the flowers now!

The correct translation of the inscription on the One Ring of Power:

This ring, no other, is made by the Elves,
who'd pawn their own mother to grab it themselves.
Ruler of creeper and mortal and scallop,
this ring is a sleeper that packs quite a wallop.
The power almighty rests in this One Ring,
the power, alrighty, for doing your Own Thing.
If broken or busted, it cannot be re-made,
if found, send to Sorhed (the postage is pre-paid).

A handful from Good Omens (Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman)

Humanity:
"And just when you’d think they were more malignant than ever Hell could be, they could occasionally show more grace than Heaven ever dreamed of. Often the same individual was involved. It was this free-will thing, of course. It was a bugger."

Demons and Angels:
"Now, as Crowley would be the first to protest, most demons weren’t deep down evil. In the great cosmic game they felt they occupied the same position as tax inspectors—doing an unpopular job, maybe, but essential to the overall operations of the whole thing. If it came to that, some angels weren’t paragons of virtue; Crowley had met one or two who, when it came to righteously smiting the ungodly, smote a good deal harder than was strictly necessary."

Witches:
"Most books on witchcraft will tell you that witches work naked. This is because most books on witchcraft are written by men."

Devoured by giant spiders without benefit of legal counsel isn't called "justice" where I come from!
