The timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness. 


 

 even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.


 

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation


 

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.


 

Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them.
They move on. They move away.
The moments that used to define them are covered by
moments of their own accomplishments.

It is not until much later, that
children understand;
their stories and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories
of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones,
beneath the water of their lives


freedom

 

 freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose

 - and commit yourself to what is best for you.

Numb - Song by Linkin Park

 

I'm tired of being what you want me to beFeeling so faithless, lost under the surfaceDon't know what you're expecting of mePut under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Every step that I take is another mistake to you(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

Can't you see that you're smothering meHolding too tightly, afraid to lose control?'Cause everything that you thought I would beHas fallen apart right in front of you
Every step that I take is another mistake to you(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)And every second I waste is more than I can take
I've become so numbI can't feel you thereBecome so tiredSo much more awareI'm becoming thisAll I want to doIs be more like meAnd be less like you
And I knowI may end up failing tooBut I knowYou were just like me with someone disappointed in you



In the End - Song

 

It starts with oneAll I knowIt's so unrealWatch you go
I tried so hard and got so farBut in the end, it doesn't even matterI had to fall to lose it allBut in the end, it doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know whyIt doesn't even matter how hard you tryKeep that in mind, I designed this rhymeTo remind myself of a time when I tried so hardIn spite of the way you were mockin' meActin' like I was part of your propertyRemembering all the times you fought with meI'm surprised it got so farThings aren't the way they were beforeYou wouldn't even recognize me anymoreNot that you knew me back thenBut it all comes back to me in the endYou kept everything insideAnd even though I tried, it all fell apartWhat it meant to me will eventuallyBe a memory of a time when I
I tried so hard and got so farBut in the end, it doesn't even matterI had to fall to lose it allBut in the end, it doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know whyIt doesn't even matter how hard you tryKeep that in mindI designed this rhyme to explain in due timeAll I knowTime is a valuable thingWatch it fly by as the pendulum swingsWatch it count down to the end of the dayThe clock ticks life awayIt's so unrealYou didn't look out belowWatch the time go right out the windowTryin' to hold on, they didn't even knowI wasted it all just to watch you goI kept everything insideAnd even though I tried, it all fell apartWhat it meant to me will eventually be a memoryOf a time when I tried so hard


 

The Marquis De Sade said that the most important experiences a man can have are those that take him to the very limit; 

that is the only way we learn, because it requires all our courage. 


 people who have never dared to look into the depths of their soul, 

never attempted to know the origin of that desire to unleash the wild beast,

 or to understand that sex, pain and love are all extreme experiences. 


Only those who know those frontiers know life; 

everything else is just passing the time,

 repeating the same tasks, 

growing old and dying

 without ever having discovered what we are doing here



 

In the beginning there was only a small amount of injustice abroad in the world, 

but everyone who came afterwards added their portion, always thinking it was very small and unimportant,

 and look where we have ended up today.



Close some doors

 

 Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, 

but simply because they no longer lead somewhere




 

We always have a tendency to see those things that do not exist 

and to be blind to the great lessons that are right there before our eyes 




 


humans 

Always seeing patterns in things that aren't there

Science is an attempt, largely successful, to understand the world, to get a grip on things, to get hold of ourselves, to steer a safe course.

 Microbiology and meteorology now explain what only a few centuries ago was considered sufficient cause to burn women to death.



 

And although I have seen nothing but black crows in my life, it doesn't mean that there's no such thing as a white crow. 

Both for a philosopher and for a scientist it can be important not to reject the possibility of finding a white crow. 

You might almost say that hunting for 'the white crow' is science's principal task



 

One mole of a substance is equal to 6.022 × 10²³ units of that substance 

(such as atoms, molecules, or ions). 


The number 6.022 × 10²³ is known as Avogadro's number or Avogadro's constant. 

The concept of the mole can be used to convert between mass and number of particles..




 

In metric, 

one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, 

weighs one gram, 

and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade

—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. 


An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it.
