"I breathe your name in every exhalation."

"animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."

“Je n'avais pas besoin de cette hypothèse-là.”- Pierre-Simon Laplace

Laplace was actually talking to Napoleon in this context. He wrote a book on astronomical bodies and natural science. Napoleon noted this about the book in their conversation: 'M. Laplace, they tell me you have written this large book on the system of the universe, and have never even mentioned its Creator.'

Laplace said he had no need for such a hypothesis.

As for why, I had lots of anger issues growing up, as well as a desire to be manly, and both of those things got me thrown in jail several times. This is pretty much the perfect quote for me.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

This isn't my favourite poetry but its one that I think is fairly useful which is "Less is more."

From a religious point of view it would be "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you."

Of course for some this can be more challenging than others.
