The Magic of the Cities.

Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

Einstein On The Park






“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”

“The difference between genius and stupidity is; genius has its limits.”

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

“When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.”

“A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.”

“I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.”

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.”

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.”

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.”

“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”
― Albert Einstein

" I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination of ignorance, selfishness, and greed. " -Dalai Lama
