learn, relearn and unlearn
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn
Heroes
"Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned; unicorns may go unrescued for a long time, but not forever; a happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story"

Ride
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-served body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming, "Wow! What a ride!!"

"heaven"
"Chiang, this world isn't heaven at all, is it?"
The Elder smiled inthe moonlight. "You are learning again, Jonathan Seagull," he said.
"Well, what happens from here? Where are we going? Is there no suchplace as heaven?"
"No, Jonathan, there is no such place. Heaven is not a place, and itis not a time. Heaven is being perfect."
He was silent for a moment. "Youare a very fast flier, aren't you?"
"I... I enjoy speed," Jonathan said, taken aback but proud that theElder had noticed.
"You will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that youtouch perfect speed. And that isn't flying a thousand miles an hour, or amillion, or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit,and perfection doesn't have limits. Perfect speed, my son, is beingthere."
Without warning, Chiang vanished and appeared at the water's edgefifty feet away, all in the flicker of an instant. Then he vanished againand stood, in the same millisecond, at Jonathan's shoulder.
"It's kind of fun," he said.

"It is not in the nature of the man....to start out by giving up. Some give up at the first touch of pressure, some sell out, some run down by inperceptible degrees and loose their fire never knowing when or how they lost it....Yet few hold on and move on, knowing that the fire is not to be betrayed,learning to give it shape purpose and reality.But whatever there future, at the dawn of their lives , men seek a noble vision of man's nature and of life's potential."
-Ayn Rand
"We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another, no sunrise finds us where the sunset left us.Even while the earth sleeps we travel.We are the seeds of the tenacious plant. it is in our ripeness and the fullness of our heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered."
-Kahlil Gibran
