Quote of the Day by Andrei Sakharov

"Other civilizations, perhaps more successful ones, may exist an infinite number of times on the preceding and following pages of the Book of the Universe," Sakharov wrote in his Nobel Prize lecture. "Yet we should not minimize our sacred endeavors in the world, where, like faint glimmers in the dark, we have emerged for a moment from the nothingness of unconsciousness into material existence. We must make good the demands of reason and create a life worthy of ourselves and of the goals we only dimly perceive."

  • Bravo! That was well said. We need blogs such as these. Blogs that are convincing and encouraging. Unlike other write ups that would make you feel down knowing that the whole world is in pain. And you have to be in pain too. Keep it up!
