Thoughts + Words

x1

“I think there IS in fact something new under the sun. And it occurs everday. You just have to make. That’s all.  No problem.”

x2

“Ideas are cheap. But the sustained ability to think, form and realize is not. That is the path toward gold.”

x3

“Water, wind, sound, light. All of these are dispersible. But when concentrated, they become immensely powerful, even dangerous. Such is the power of our own concentration and focus. As above, so below.”

x4

“The nature of all life moves toward one thing: Increase.”
