• Maybe he hadn't thought the war through. It had seemed like simple fun when he had first pictured it, with a glorious beginning, a difficult but valor-filled middle, and a victorious end.

• I'm highly aware that some impulses are harder to ignore than others. I'm aware that fear of consequences causes us to guard our secrets. But it's our actions when faced with temptation that define who we are. It's our courage in admitting what we've done wrong that makes us forgivable.

• Abraza y besa a quien te haya ayudado -financiera, mental, moral, emocionalmente- a llegar hasta hoy. Padres, mentores, amigos, profesores.

No dejes que se ponga el sol sin dar las gracias a alguien, y sin admitirte a ti mismo que absolutamente nadie llega tan lejos solo.

• Philosophy and science have not always been friendly toward the idea of God, the reason being they are dedicated to the task of accounting for things and are impatient with anything that refuses to give an account of itself. The philosopher and the scientist will admit that there is much that they do not know; but that is quite another thing from admitting there is something which they can never know, which indeed they have no technique for discovering.

• When a guest blogger can't even be bothered sharing their own post on their social networks; they're pretty much admitting 'I don't care about this post, and I don't want to be associated with it'. In the end these guests posts are just another form of spam.

• how can he love me then not? He went,he ran. And I cannot bring him back. Yet I left the door metaphorically wide open, hoping he'd come back and bang on it proclaiming, "I want to be here with you. Always." Soon I'm going to have to shutit. For my safety and my sanity. Let go. I don't want to. Won't letting go be just that - letting go? Giving up? Admitting failure? Admitting that it is really, truly over?

• Como en Matemáticas, así en Filosofía Natural, la Investigación de Cosas difíciles por el Método de Análisis, debe preceder siempre al Método de Composición. Este Análisis consiste en hacer Experimentos y Observaciones, y en sacar Conclusiones generales de ellos por Inducción, y no admitir Objeciones contra las Conclusiones, sino aquellas que son tomadas de Experimentos, u otras Verdades ciertas. Porque las Hipótesis no deben ser consideradas en la Filosofía experimental.
