"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the great twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

I am not very attached to things like most are in our country. I own very little and live very simply. I like it that way. But I’m also cosmopolitan. I love the opera and stimulating conversation. I’m academic and highbrow. I love the pursuit of knowledge and the perfection of talents. I live for contemplating and creating.
How happy would I be without ...

How Exercise Affects the Brain: Age and Genetics Play a Role
David Bucci, exercise in Brain Health, Quotes Monday, April 23, 2012 at 10:25PM Attending the first ever White House Summit on Environmental Education shed light on what’s wrong with the environmental movement: the generational balance of power.

Jack LaLanne, PPaleo diet in Quotes Monday, December 19, 2011 at 09:05AM As the human species epxanded across the globe, we had to compete with other animals going for the easy food. We went for things like the small hard grass seeds we call cereals, which are indigestible if eaten raw and may even be poisonous, which we have to pulp up and turn into things like bread and dough. And we went into the poisonous giant tubers, like the yam and the taro, which also had to be leeched, ground up and cooked before we could eat them.
