"There is nothing we can say or do to change another person. People will change only when they are ready. The only people we have the power to change are ourselves. When we change ourselves, however, we often find that the change we desired in others happens as well." -Taro Gold

 

42

 

@ElFrenetico...sorry I'm not sure I understand what is 42?

 

"Both water and oil become round in a round glass and square in a square one. Water and oil have no shape in and of themselves. The same is true of good and evil. Good and evil actions may take the same shape, yet the wise can perceive the difference." -Taro Gold

 

@Tiger Lilly 42 is the Answer. Douglas Adams: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

As in, the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. It's also positive.

I won't spoil the story by revealing the ultimate question.

 

For those still pondering the meaning of 42

And if you thought this game and upgrading walls was a grind, finding the ultimate question puts things into perspective

“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”

I really like this thread, so I thought I'd add a quote from a favourite author...'Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have to dry.- Terry Pratchett

 

Aww, one of my two favorites too! Belongs right up there with 42, and the world would have been better off with both of them around for another few decades.

Another nice Pratchett one:
"It is well known that a vital ingredient of success is not knowing that what you're attempting can't be done."
