"I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny."
Marcus Aurelius.

"Maybe mistakes are what make our fate...without them, what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life, and they go. But it's comforting to know that the one's you love are always in your heart... and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away."
Benjamin Disraeli.

"It is of great use to the sailor to know the length of his line, though he cannot with it fathom all the depths of the ocean."

Paul Flory.
"Significant inventions are not mere accidents. The
erroneous view [that they are] is widely held, and it is
one that the scientific and technical community,
unfortunately, has done little to dispel. Happenstance
usually plays a part, to be sure, but there is much more
to invention than the popular notion of a bolt out of
the blue. Knowledge in depth and in breadth are virtual
prerequisites. Unless the mind is thoroughly charge
beforehand, the proverbial spark of genius, if it should
manifest itself, probably will find nothing to ignite."
