Earl Nightingale "Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations." Iris Murdoch "We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality." Dan Brown "The thing that's going to make artificial intelligence so powerful is its ability to learn, and the way AI learns is to look at human culture." Vernon Howard "You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need." John Bradshaw "Evil is a source of moral intelligence in the sense that we need to learn from our shadow, from our dark side, in order to be good." |
