“The first person to measure the rate of acceleration of a free falling body was Father Giambattista Riccioli.”
“I love running. I’m not into marathons, but I am into avoiding problems at an accelerated rate.”
“He was the measure of the failure of his father's body, and also perhaps a portending of the failure of his own.~”
“If there is anything unique about the human animal, it is that it has the ability to grow knowledge at an accelerating rate while being chronically incapable of learning from experience.”
“There is never a better measure of what a person is than what he does when he's absolutely free to choose.”
“Man's feet are the measure for distance, his hands are the measure for ownership, his body is the measure for all that is lovable and desirable and strong. Then I went further: it was then that I called to you for the first time, and you would not come.”
