Danger! Negative memories ahead: the effect of warnings on reactions to and recall of negative memories;







“Aut Viam Inveniam Aut Faciam” - Hannibal (I will either find a way, or I will make one)
“You are different with the gun in your hand; the gun is different with you holding it. You are another subject because you hold the gun; the gun is another object because it has entered into a relationship with you.” - Bruno Latour (1999) 
“Everything in some way connects to everything else." – Leonardo Da Vinci
“Marco Polo describes a bridge, stone by stone. 'But which is the stone that supports the bridge?' Kublai Khan asks. 'The bridge is not supported by one stone or another,' Marco answers, 'but by the line of the arch that they form.' Kublai Khan remains silent, reflecting. Then he adds: 'Why do you speak to me of the stones? It is only the arch that matters to me.' Polo answers: 'Without stones there is no arch.’"
“You're already strong, rich, and among friends. Yet, at times, dream that you're not.” - The Universe

“What we play is life." - Louis Armstrong

“Art is not about decadence, hipness or living life on the edge, art is about pushing your mind as far as it will go and then to observe what is on the other side.” - Buckhouse

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” - Oscar Wilde

“I have spent most of my life worrying about things that have never happened! Mark Twain

“Life is not what you see, but what you've projected. It's not what you've been told, but what you've decided. It's not what you've experienced, but how you've remembered it. It's not what you've forged, but what you've allowed. And it's not who's appeared, but who you've summoned…  And this should serve you well until you find what you already have.” - The Universe
