• The irrevocable Hand
  That opes the year's fair gate, doth ope and shut
  The portals of our earthly destinies;
  We walk through blindfold, and the noiseless doors
  Close after us, for ever.
  
  Pause, my soul,
  On these strange words - for ever - whose large sound
  Breaks flood-like, drowning all the petty noise
  Our human moans make on the shores of Time.
  O Thou that openest, and no man shuts;
  That shut'st, and no man opens - Thee we wait!

  Dinah Maria Murlock Craik

• If it be the chief point of friendship to
  comply with a friends motions and inclinations,
  he possesses this in a eminent degree;
  he lies down when I sit, and walks when I walk,
  which is more than many good friends
  can pretend to do.

• The brain has an attentional mode called the "mind wandering mode" that was only recently identified. This is when thoughts move seamlessly from one to another, often to unrelated thoughts, without you controlling where they go. This brain state acts as a neural reset button, allowing us to come back to our work with a refreshed perspective. Different people find they enter this mode in different ways: reading, a walk in nature, looking at art, meditating, and napping. A 15-minute nap can produce the equivalent of a 10-point boost in IQ.

• Man's quest for knowledge is an expanding series whose limit is infinity, but philosophy seeks to attain that limit at one blow, by a short circuit providing the certainty of complete and inalterable truth. Science meanwhile advances at its gradual pace, often slowing to a crawl, and for periods it even walks in place, but eventually it reaches the various ultimate trenches dug by philosophical thought, and, quite heedless of the fact that it is not supposed to be able to cross those final barriers to the intellect, goes right on.
