| ... one of those most bizarre of mathematical concepts, a recipriversexcluson, a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself. |

| Many people think that to be patient in bearing loss is a sign of weakness. I think this is a mistake. It is anger that is a sign of weakness, whereas patience is a sign of strength. For example, a person arguing a point based on sound reasoning remains confident and may even smile while proving his case. On the other hand, if his reasons are unsound and he is about to lose face, he gets angry, loses control, and starts talking nonsense. People rarely get angry if they are confident in what they are doing. Anger comes more easily in moments of confusion. |

| The countless stars and constellations that we see today were gradually formed and discovered, but the interesting thing is that the more powerful telescopes we use, the more we will find - more and more stars and lives. Thus, the more we have power to see things, the more there is to see. |

| Quote of the moment |
| I can perform absurd work, choose the creative attitude rather than another. But an absurd attitude, if it is to remain so, must remain aware of its gratuitousness. So it is with the work of art. If the commandments of the absurd are not respected, if the work does not illustrate divorce and revolt, if it sacrifices to illusions and arouses hope, it ceases to be gratuitous. I can no longer detach myself from it. My life may find a meaning in it, but that is trifling. It ceases to be that exercise in detachment and passion which crowns the splendor and futility of a man's life. |

| Quote of the moment |
| We practice various meditations during dream states. The potential of such practices is that at a certain level it is possible to separate the gross levels of consciousness from the gross physical state, and arrive at a subtler level of mind and body. You could, for example, separate your mind from your body during sleep and do some extra work that you cannot do in your ordinary body. However, you might not get paid for it! |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, February 14, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
