Holding the line

Random quote of the day:

 

“In my experience skeptics are overreachers. They equate doubt with logical thinking, so that to be unskeptical makes one irrational….The line between religion and science, which skeptics defend like armed guards, isn’t so definite as they suppose, given the religious bent of Kepler, Newton, Einstein, and other scientific minds great and small.

—Deepak Chopra, “Gadflies Without a Sting: The Downside of Skepticism,” The Huffington Post, October 10, 2005

Interesting one! Love the photo, too.

Thanks. It was a good article.

And I'm fascinated by those Chinese terracotta warriors. I saw a couple of them in traveling exhibition at the L.A. County Fair yarns and yarns ago and they're pretty amazing.

I'd love to see them in person--have seen many photos over the years, and they are always fascinating.

The individualized faces are what get to me. What an amazing undertaking, and the thought of how many artisans it took is just boggling.

Same here about the faces.

Yes! The guy in the center front row looks like he's in dreamland, while so many of the faces around him look so fierce.

Loved this when I saw it in four parts on Twitter :-)
