"IF YOU WANT TO FIND THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE, THINK IN TERMS OF ENERGY, FREQUENCY AND VIBRATION."
— NIKOLA TESLA

“A HUMAN BEING IS A PART OF THE WHOLE CALLED BY US UNIVERSE, A PART LIMITED IN TIME AND SPACE. HE EXPERIENCES HIMSELF, HIS THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS AS SOMETHING SEPARATED FROM THE REST, A KIND OF OPTICAL DELUSION OF HIS CONSCIOUSNESS. THIS DELUSION IS A KIND OF PRISON FOR US, RESTRICTING US TO OUR PERSONAL DESIRES AND TO AFFECTION FOR A FEW PERSONS NEAREST TO US. OUR TASK MUST BE TO FREE OURSELVES FROM THIS PRISON BY WIDENING OUR CIRCLE OF COMPASSION TO ENHANCE ALL LIVING CREATURES AND THE WHOLE OF NATURE.”
— ALBERT EINSTEIN

“WE ARE THE PRODUCT OF 4.5 BILLION YEARS OF FORTUITOUS, SLOW BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION. THERE IS NO REASON TO THINK THAT THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS HAS STOPPED. MAN IS A TRANSITIONAL ANIMAL. HE IS NOT THE CLIMAX OF CREATION.”
— CARL SAGAN

"I STAND AT THE SEASHORE, ALONE, AND START TO THINK.
THERE ARE THE RUSHING WAVES
MOUNTAINS OF MOLECULES
EACH STUPIDLY MINDING ITS OWN BUSINESS
TRILLIONS APART
YET FORMING WHITE SURF IN UNISON
AGES ON AGES
BEFORE ANY EYES COULD SEE
YEAR AFTER YEAR
THUNDEROUSLY POUNDING THE SHORE AS NOW.
FOR WHOM, FOR WHAT?
ON A DEAD PLANET
WITH NO LIFE TO ENTERTAIN.
NEVER AT REST
TORTURED BY ENERGY
WASTED PRODIGIOUSLY BY THE SUN
POURED INTO SPACE.
A MITE MAKES THE SEA ROAR.
DEEP IN THE SEA
ALL MOLECULES REPEAT
THE PATTERNS OF ONE ANOTHER
TILL COMPLEX NEW ONES ARE FORMED.
THEY MAKE OTHERS LIKE THEMSELVES
AND A NEW DANCE STARTS.
GROWING IN SIZE AND COMPLEXITY
LIVING THINGS
MASSES OF ATOMS
DNA, PROTEIN
DANCING A PATTERN EVER MORE INTRICATE.
OUT OF THE CRADLE
ONTO DRY LAND
HERE IT IS
STANDING:
ATOMS WITH CONSCIOUSNESS;
MATTER WITH CURIOSITY.
STANDS AT THE SEA,
WONDERS AT WONDERING: I
A UNIVERSE OF ATOMS
AN ATOM IN THE UNIVERSE."
