Looks like the quote was from Will Durant, based on an Aristotle saying.

The Intro to Synthesis video series put out by Reverb's Justin DeLay is really excellent: https://reverb.com/news/intro-to-synthesis-our-6-part-video-...

As mention previously, Reverb.com is an excellent place to find a great deal on a used synth.

awillimus··on Benefits of Napping in Healthy Adults (2009) [pdf]
I found that after a few weeks of trying to take 20 minute naps after lunch I was able to fall asleep pretty quickly. One thing I read at the time said that even if you don't fall asleep during the 20 minutes, you still get some of the benefits. I think napping sort of taught me how to fall asleep quickly.
