"Nothing is more humbling than to look with a strong magnifying glass at an insect so tiny that the naked eye sees only the barest speck and to discover that nevertheless it is sculpted and articulated and striped with the same care and imagination as a zebra.

“We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books . It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranges and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations.” Albert Einstein

“Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.” Charlie Mingus

“Everything is simpler than you think and at the same time more complex than you imagine.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) German poet, statesman, scientist
