Meaningful words to me

— Joseph Conrad, The Mirror of the Sea


"Everything in its right place."

— Thom Yorke of Radiohead


"I am free and that is why I am lost."

— Franz Kafka


"Love and regret go hand in hand in this world of changes swifter than the shifting of the clouds reflected in the mirror of the sea."

— Joseph Conrad, The Mirror of the Sea


"We're not retreating, we're just advancing in a different direction."

"I grow little of the food I eat, and of the little I do grow I did not breed or perfect the seeds.

I did not make any of my own clothing.

I speak a language I did not invent or refine.

I did not discover the mathematics I use.

I am protected by freedoms and laws I did not conceive of or legislate, and do not enforce or adjudicate.

I am moved by music I did not create myself.

When I needed medical attention, I was helpless to help myself.

I did not invent the transistor, the microprocessor, object oriented programming, or most of the technology I work with.

I love and admire my species, living and dead, and am totally dependent on them for my life and well being."

— Steve Jobs


"Unwisdom is the source of doubt that in your bosom lies.

A sword of of wisdom you now, to sever it, devise.

By trust in labor's discipline.

Arise, brave prince! Arise!"

— Arthur W. Ryder translation of The Bhagavad Gita
