The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
— Hans Hofmann, quoted in Zen and the Art of Stand-up Comedy (1998)

To understand matters rightly we should understand their details, and as that knowledge is almost infinite, our knowledge is always superficial and imperfect.
— François VI, Duc de La Rochefoucauld, Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims (1665–1678)

Be pitiful, for every man is fighting a hard battle.
— Ian Maclaren, The British Weekly (1898)

We must remember that our greatest strength is in our love of life and colors, beauty and music, dancing and joy. That is our secret weapon. That is something that the opposition does not have. Keep those things near and dear to your heart because in times of war that will sustain you.
— RuPaul Andre Charles, Billboard (2017)

Picture of the day

The Malabar pied hornbill (Anthracoceros coronatus) is a bird in the hornbill family of tropical near-passerines. It is a common resident breeder in India and Sri Lanka, where its habitat is evergreen and moist deciduous forests, often near human settlements. It is an omnivorous species, consuming fruits, small mammals, birds, small reptiles and insects. It eats by killing its prey and swallowing it whole. Figs are an important food, contributing at least 60% of the bird's diet throughout the year. It breeds in March and April, during which time figs form up to 75% of the fruits delivered at the nest. This Malabar pied hornbill was photographed in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
