"Evolution has ensured that our brains aren't equipped to visualize 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four."
Steven Hawkings, "Return of the time lord," in the Guardian (27 September 2005).
"Poetry and imagination begin life. A child will fall on its knees on the gravel walk at the sight of a pink hawthorn in full flower, when it is by itself, to praise God for it."
Florence Nightingale, Cassandra (1860)
People say to me so often, "Jane how can you be so peaceful when everywhere around you people want books signed, people are asking these questions and yet you seem peaceful," and I always answe that it is the peace of the forest that I carry inside.
Jane Goodall
