Keep Learning, Keep Humble.


The universe is full of magical things
patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
- Eden Phillpotts

Imagination is the true magic carpet.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
- Arthur C. Clarke

and the whole point of magic is that it is inexplicable.

Love can sometimes be magic.
But magic can sometimes...
just be an illusion.

And the sum of what we will never know is even greater.
Keep Learning, Keep Humble.
