“The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you
look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they
are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in
life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they
manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. For
me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the
world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You’d
be surprised how far that gets you.” — Neil deGrasse Tyson

“Fights between individuals, as well as governments and nations, invariably result from misunderstandings in the broadest interpretation of this term. Misunderstandings are always caused by the inability of appreciating one another’s point of view. This again is due to the ignorance of those concerned, not so much in their own, as in their mutual fields. The peril of a clash is aggravated by a more or less predominant sense of combativeness, posed by every human being. To resist this inherent fighting tendency the best way is to dispel ignorance of the doings of others by a systematic spread of general knowledge. With this object in view, it is most important to aid exchange of thought and intercourse.” ― Nikola Tesla
