No law is quite appropriate for all

Titus Livy 59 B.C.E - 17 C.E (via ancientquotes)

What works for some may not work for others. There is no one right way to do things -- the ‘best way’ is just something that comes over time. It is also something that constantly changes with time, as new lessons continually overwrite what used to be the standard.

The type of human being we prefer reveals the contours of our heart.

José Ortega y Gasset (via fyp-philosophy)

I’d like to believe I go after people who stand tall, who are firm and stable in ways that make them reliable, admirable... but why do I feel like my heart is jagged in all the wrong places?

Daniel Arsham Carves 300-Foot Psychedelic Tunnel Across Gallery

Conceptual artist Daniel Arsham (previously featured here and here) has a reputation for creating progressive and mind-altering installations, which immediately seduce its viewer into deep intrigue and thoughts. The conceptual piece is composed of 300-foot-long tunnels, which are gradually transformed from jagged hole shapes into a cutout of a human silhouette, as one delves deeper into the passageway. Located at the SCAD Museum of Art’s Pamela Elaine Poetter Gallery, Arsham utilized faux concrete to create the illusion of an obscure pathway.

Our true nationality is mankind.

HG Wells (via littleglories)

We’re all the same, but our differences have become too divisive. I hope one day there will be a way to contain all this hate.

I wish I could go and see all these ancient temples one day. There’s nothing like seeing a tangible reminder of time, up close.

There is an end to folly

People can choose to show only the best parts of themselves and hide the rest, but onlookers can only be fooled up to a certain point. (tweet link)

Some people may be good at maintaining believable façades, but there will come a time when their inconsistencies will be revealed to those they are trying to fool. A web of lies will always have an expiry date.

I have always been fascinated by parallel universes. The world just isn’t big enough for our stories.

Timely solutions

Time solves most things. And what time can't solve, you have to solve yourself. (tweet by Self)

I'll let time solve most things then. Should I know when it's my turn to do the fixing? Or I can wait forever...

Quirky Science Inspired Glassware by Geoff and Kristen Zephyrus

Portland-based couple Kristen and Geoff Zephyrus create quirky science inspired glassware as a full-time job. A trained graphic designer and glass expert from MassArt, Geoff is the artist, while Kristen is the brains, behind the quirky and intelligent collaboration. Their motto is to create “smart gifts for smart people” with a whimsical sensibility.

Scientifically accurate, the glassware pays homage to calculus and chemistry equations. Dabbing into puns, each piece contains the chemistry equation of its designated liquid, i.e., the mug is scripted with the chemical formula of caffeine; whereas the tall glass is etched with “H2O”, the most famous chemical compound.

In addition to the cleverly composed glassware, the duo celebrates some of the most brilliant minds who have contributed to science. Engraved in tall beer glasses are the portraits of Charles Darwin, Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, Albert Einstein and Rosalind Franklin.

Overall each creation begs the companion of a lab partner to grab a cup of coffee with, have a glass of wine with or a chilled beer. You can find their entire collection in their Etsy shop.
