The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.
