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

Parazoanthus axinellae, commonly known as the yellow cluster anemone, is a species of zoanthid coral in the family Parazoanthidae. It is found on rocky substrates around the southern Atlantic coasts of Europe and in the Mediterranean Sea, at depths between 23 and 45 metres (75 and 148 ft). Zoanthids differ from true sea anemones in having a different internal anatomy and in forming true colonies in which the individual animals (polyps) are connected by a common tissue, called the coenenchyme. Parazoanthus axinellae is yellow or orange in colour, each polyp featuring 24 to 36 tentacles and having a diameter of 5 millimetres (0.20 in) with a height of 20 millimetres (0.79 in). In the Mediterranean Sea, it frequently forms dense agglomerations, often in association with the soft coral Alcyonium acaule. This P. axinellae cluster was photographed in Arrábida Natural Park, Portugal.Photograph credit: Diego Delso
