I do not know what I may
appear to the world;
but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy
playing on the seashore,
and diverting myself in now and then
finding a
smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary,
whilst the great ocean
of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
- Isaac Newton

I had a feeling once about
mathematics -- that I saw it all.
Depth beyond depth was revealed to me --
the Byss and the Abyss.
I saw -- as one might see the transit of Venus or
even the Lord Mayor's Show --
a quantity passing through infinity and
changing its sign from plus to minus.
I saw exactly why it happened and
why tergiversation was inevitable --
but it was after dinner and I let it
go.
- Sir Winston Spencer Churchill

of all the light you have
And step into the darkness of the unknown
Believe that one of the two will happen to you
Either you'll find
something solid to stand on
Or you'll be taught how to fly!

Overton; Richard Bach; Jonathan Livingston Seagul |

And they came - To the edge -
And they flew.
