단순한 삶이 마음을 평온하게 하고 근원적인 눈을 뜨게 한다. 단순한 삶을 이루려면 투철한 자기 억제와 자기 질서를 가져야 한다. 보지 않아도 좋을 것은 보지 말고, 듣지 않아도 좋을 것은 듣지 말고, 읽지 않아도 좋을 것은 읽지 말며, 먹지 않아도 좋을 음심은 먹지 말아야 한다. 그래서 될 수 있는 한 가려 가면서 적게 보고, 적게 듣고, 적게 입고, 적게 먹어야 한다. 그래야 인간이 성숙해지고 승화될 수 있다. -법정 스님

Bridezilla

A bridezilla (a neologistic portmanteau of bride and Godzilla) is a difficult, unpleasant, perfectionist bride who leaves irritated family, friends and bridal vendors in her wake. She is often called greedy, selfish and spoiled; not caring about the people that she hurts to get exactly what she wants on her perfect day.

3D Atlas of the Universe

"What the world needs now is a sense of being able to look at ourself in this much larger condition now, and a much larger sense of what home is. Because our home is the universe and we are the universe essentially. We carry that in us. To be able to see our context in this larger sense at all scales helps us all, I think, in understanding where we are and who we are in the universe." This is why I cannot believe in a god.
