Three Stages

"All truth passes through three stages. First it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third it is accepted as self-evident."

---Arthur Schopenhauer

Focus

"If it's in focus, it's pornography. If it's out of focus, it's art."

---Linda Hunt as 'Billy Kwan' in the 1982 film "The Year of Living Dangerously"

Excellence

"With regard to excellence, it is not enough to know, but we must also try to have and use it."

---Aristotle

Now

"Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now."

---from "Suite Judy Blue Eyes", by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Exposure

"What you see, you become."

---Tom Bianchi (from the Vedas)

Ocean of Truth

"I do not know what I seem to the world, but to myself I appear to have been like a boy playing upon the seashore and diverting myself by now and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay before me all undiscovered."

---Isaac Newton
