“Like any other momentous shift in emotion, depression is not an occupation by a foreign army; it is civil insurrection, the subversion of identity's republic from within. A depressed person loses more than energy and appetite--he loses himself and the capacity to make the decisions his former, pre-coup self would have made.”
Thomas Lewis, A General Theory of Love

Mary Doria Russell
“...[Emilio] felt once more the strangely visceral thrill of trying to disprove a hypothesis he suspected was robust.”
Mary Doria Russell, Children of God

Richard P. Feynman
“Yes! That is the way electrons go.”
Richard Feynman

“Long before science existed, sharp-eyed men and women told each other stories about how people are, stories that have never lost their power to enchant and instruct. The purpose of using science to investigate human nature is not to replace these stories but to augment and deepen them.”
Thomas Lewis, A General Theory of Love

“Ferrying Across is like crossing the sea. When you traverse a strait or make a long crossing of the sea, for a distance of even forty or fifty ri, you use "ferrying." In passing through this human world, too, there are likely many places within the space of a generation that may be called Ferrying Across. On a ship's course, you know where these places are, you know the capacity of the ship and you know the weather patterns well. Though other ships may not venture out, you do so by responding to the conditions of the hour, relying on either a crosswind or a tail wind and, if the wind changes, putting in the oars for two or three ri. With your mind set on arriving at port, you board the ship and ferry across

You should think in terms of Ferrying Across when you pass through society and set your mind on some serious affair.

For the martial arts, Ferrying Across is essential even in the midst of battle. Here you take into account the level of your opponent, judge your own degree of expertise, and, using the principles of the martial arts, ferry across. It is the same for a good mariner ferrying across a sea route.”
Musashi Miyomoto
