Favourite quotes
grovel God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference
- Reinhold Niebuhr - The Serenity Prayer
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
- Vincent van Gogh
There are only two ways to live your life: one is as though nothing is a miracle; the other is as if everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
What is the purpose of life? To be the eyes and ears and conscience of the creator of the universe. - Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007)
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. - Robert A Heinlein
Be a good human being, a warm-hearted affectionate person. That is my fundamental belief. Having a sense of caring, a feeling of compassion will bring happiness of peace of mind to oneself and automatically create a positive atmosphere.
- Dalai Lama (1935)
All of mankind's history is basically personal experience written down. - Galaxy Babe (July 2007)

A European Swallowtail butterfly which I had a close encounter with when visiting Spain in 2010
