While running at the gym the other day I looked up at the TV and saw an interview with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. I became transfixed. I had never heard such inclusive language from a world leader. I began to email key phrases on my BlackBerry to myself so I would not forget. [1]

Holy Phoenix dactylifera pilatus, Batman! That’s one impressive demonstration of multitasking.

Mature students at King’s pick up the durnd’st things, it would seem ;) This one’s come up with a fresh approach to New Thought using FYP’s unit on Ancient Greek Stoicism. Weird. And subversive.

‘It is not enough for a handful of experts to attempt the solution to a problem, to solve it and then to apply it. The restriction of knowledge to an elite group destroys the spirit of society and leads to its intellectual impoverishment."
          — Albert Einstein

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete"
          — Buckminster Fuller

"The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice there is little we can do to change until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds."
          — R. D. Laing

Never underestimate the power of quoting a few content-free aphorisms authored by loved and respected authorities.
