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

Diwali is a five-day Hindu festival of lights which symbolises the spiritual victory of light over darkness and good over evil. It commemorates the day when Hindu god Rama, along with his wife-consort Sita and brother Lakshmana, returned to his kingdom of Ayodhya after defeating demon-king Ravana and following 14 years of exile. Celebrations peak on the night of the third day of the festival—the main day of Diwali, which is today—marking the darkest night of the Hindu lunisolar calendar. People celebrate on this day by lighting traditional lamps (diyas) and candles. Pictured here is a woman lighting candles on Diwali.Photograph credit: AjoyDutta1997; edited by Aristeas
