"There's a race of men that don't fit in,
A race that can't sit still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin, 
And they roam the world at will. 
They range the field and rove the flood, 
And they climb the mountain's crest;
Their's is the curse of the gypsy blood, 
And they don't know how to rest." 
- Robert W. Service

"No one would of believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater then man's but yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. " 
- H.G. Wells, War Of The Worlds

In memory of Stephen Hawking
"We find ourselves in a bewildering world. We want to make sense of what we see around us and ask: What is the nature of the universe? What is our place in it and where did it and we come from? Why is it the way it is?" 
- Stephen Hawking  - A Brief History Of Time

"The waves broke and spread their waters swiftly over the shore. One after another they massed themselves and fell; the spray tossed itself back with the energy of their fall. The waves were steeped deep-blue save for a pattern of diamond-pointed light on their backs which rippled as the backs of great horses ripple with muscles as they move. The waves fell; withdrew and fell again, like the thud of a great beast stamping."
- Virginia Woolf  - The Waves

Better to abide in stillness."
