gptkbp:famous_quote “ Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.”
“ The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”
“ I have noticed that even people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.”
“ We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star.”
“ Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.”
“ The only black hole I’m afraid of is the one in my bank account.”
“ Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.”
“ The only black hole I’m afraid of is the one in my own head.”
