I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited thankfully.

Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.

Experience is never limited and it is never complete it is an immense sensibility a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.

Refusal to believe until proof is given is a rational position denial of all outside of our own limited experience is absurd.

And so you touch this limit something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power your determination your instinct and the experience as well you can fly very high.

There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection which is the highest. The second is limitation which is the easiest. The third is experience which is the bitterest.

The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.

The sky is the limit. You never have the same experience twice.

I align myself with almost all researchers in assuming that anything we do is a composite of whatever genetic limitations were given to us by our parents and whatever kinds of environmental opportunities are available.
