One of few comments I've made on other blogs

"Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them." - John Updike
"Here is your map. Unfold it, follow it, then throw it away, if you will. It is only paper. It is only paper and ink, but if you think a little, if you pause a moment, you will see that these two things have seldom joined to make a document so modest and yet so full with histories of hope or sagas of conquest." - Beryl Markham, West of the Night (1942)
"Your chosen perspective changes everything." - TU
"The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher." - Thomas Huxley
"Do not fear mistakes. There are none - it just depends on what you make of the next note." - Miles Davis
