Science is not a matter of opinion; there is only one truth.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands - Michelangelo

A great artist is always before his time or behind it - George Edward

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery - Francis Bacon

Land really is the best art - Andy Warhol

"Art is not what you see but what others make you see"

-French Artist, Edgar Degas

The best scientists themselves are usually artists - Einstein

Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from - Jodie Foster

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people - Eleanor Roosevelt

People have opinions about art, whereas science is a bit more concrete.

“All art should become science and all science art,” declared the German Romantic poet Friedrich Schlegel

Einstein once declared, "Creativity is the residue of time wasted."

When people asked Leonardo da Vinci the secret of his creative and inventing genius, he replied “Saper Vedere,” - to know how to see.

Saper vedere, Sapio audacter …sapere aude
To see is to know – dare to know …dare to be wise-think boldly!

Words have more influence when tied to an identity.

Ideas are not set in stone. When exposed to thoughtful people, they morph and adapt into their most potent form.

"An artist sells what he paints. A painter paints what he sells."- Pablo Picasso

John Cleese - “Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating.”

Creativity is combining and connecting things:

Successful scientists have often been people with wide interests. Their originality may have derived from their diverse knowledge … Originality often consists in linking up ideas whose connection was not previously suspected - Beveridge

Only when they have exhausted all the food , water and air , they will know they cannot eat money!

Oftentimes the right moment to learn the most is when you’ve done something stupid, not necessarily when you’ve triumphed.

An optimist would say the glass is half full, while a pessimist would say it is half empty. I have a third point of view. For me the glass is always full - half with water and half with air .

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on July 30, 2012 at 6:01am: How is it that common elements such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen happened to have just the kind of atomic structure that they needed to combine to make the molecules upon which life depends? Has the universe been consciously designed? - Richard Morris

Buddha
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: 1.) not going all the way and 2.) not starting.

Buddha
Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.

Buddha
In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then beleive them to be true.

Buddha
However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

Dada J P Vaswani
The pathway of love is paved with flames. It is only the brave who move on it, step by step.

Swami Vivekananda
We see that the apparent contradictions and perplexities in every RELIGION mark but different stages of growth. The end of all religions is the realizing of God in the soul. That is the one universal religion.'

Dada J P Vaswani
Love is not intelligent: love can only imagine.

Swami Sivananda
Terrible is the fight put up by the senses. Fight bravely! Conquer them you must.

Thomas M Easley
We must admit at least the possibility that everything we believe to be true is not true

Buddha
The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on July 24, 2012 at 5:54am: Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
- Howard Thurman, American author, philosopher, theologian, and civil rights leader

John Jakes

Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe, shine through every sentence you write, every piece you assemble.

Thich Nhat Hanh

You are what you want to become. Why search anymore? You are a wonderful manifestation. The whole universe has come together to make your existence possible. There is nothing that is not you.

Aristotle

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on June 16, 2012 at 6:49am: " Silence is exhilarating at first - as noise is -
but there is a sweetness to silence outlasting exhilaration,
akin to the sweetness of listening and the velvet of sleep. "
- Edward Hoagland
" Silence is like a river of grace inviting us to leap
unafraid into its beckoning depths.
It is dark and mysterious in the waters of grace.
Yet in the silent darkness we are given new eyes.
In the heart of the divine we can see more clearly who we are.
We are renewed and cleansed in this river of silence.
There are those among you who fear the Great Silence.
It is a foreign land to you.
Sometimes it is good to leap into the unknown.
Practice leaping. "
- MACRINA WIEDERKEHR,
" Great hearts are free of either want or wish;
They may be proud and richly clothe themselves
In lofty, burdenless, mysterious Silence."
- CARMEN SYLVA, "Out of the Deep"
" When you become aware of silence,
immediately there is that state of inner still alertness.
You are present.
You have stepped out of thousands of years
of collective human conditioning. "
- ECKHART TOLLE,

life is not about merely surviving – life is about living!

The quality of your life depends on something that lies within you.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on May 30, 2012 at 9:12am: Lord Byron once said:

To be perfectly original one should think much and read little, and this is impossible, for one must have read before one has learnt to think.

Beveridge offers a solution:

The best way of meeting this dilemma is to read critically, striving to maintain independence of mind and avoid becoming conventionalized. Too much reading is a handicap mainly to people who have the wrong attitude of mind. Freshness of outlook and originality need not suffer greatly if reading is used as a stimulus to thinking and if the scientist is at the same time engaged in active research. In any case, most scientists consider that it is a more serious handicap to investigate a problem in ignorance of what is already known about it.

Francis Bacon, pioneer of the scientific method, phrased it in a better way:

Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted … but to weigh and consider.

(Hey, I do it in exactly the same way!-Krishna)
