“We are now in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us. Our flesh-and-bone tabernacle seems transparent as glass to the beauty about us, as if truly an inseparable part of it, thrilling with the air and tree, streams and rocks, in the waves of the sun, — a part of all nature, neither old nor young, sick nor well, but immortal. Just now I can hardly conceive of any bodily condition dependent on food or breath any more than the ground or the sky. How glorious a conversion, so complete and wholesome it is, scarce memory enough for old bondage days left as a stanpoint to view it from! In this newness of life we seems to have been so always.”
-From “My First Summer in the Sierra” by John Muir

“Well, my existence is a continuum, so I’ve been what I am at each point in the implied time period.”
-From “The Big Bang Theory”
This is proven to be true so many times in my life…
“No. No, the campus isn’t safe at night. There’s raccoons and undergrads just walking around like they own the place.”
-Sheldon from “The Big Bang Theory”
“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”

“Never trust a thought that occurs to you indoors.”
