Picture of the day Liguus virgineus, also known as the candy cane snail, is a species of snail in the family Orthalicidae. It is native to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, in the nations of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. There have also been at least three reports of living specimens being found in the Florida Keys of the United States. The snail lives on trees and feeds on moss, fungi and microscopic algae covering the bark.Photograph: H. Zell

My Favourite quotations “ All of my life, I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them. Perhaps that is why I have sold more books on physics than Madonna has on sex. ” — Stephen Hawking “ Love is the master-key that opens the gates of happiness, of hatred, of jealousy, and, most easily of all, the gate of fear. How terrible is the one fact of beauty! ” — Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. “ My experiences with science led me to God. They challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must we really light a candle to see the sun? ” — Wernher von Braun “ Be polite and generous, but don't undervalue yourself. You will be useful, at any rate; you may just as well be happy, while you are about it. ” — Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. “ When you study natural science and the miracles of creation, if you don't turn into a mystic you are not a natural scientist. ” — Albert Hofmann “ A man provided with paper, pencil, and rubber, and subject to strict discipline, is in effect a universal machine. ” — Alan Turing “ Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. ” — Herman Cain “ A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering cold iron. ” — Horace Mann “ Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do — but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it. ” — Albert Einstein “ I am discounting reports of UFOs. Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos? ” — Stephen Hawking “ The success of most things depends upon knowing how long it will take to succeed. ” — Charles de Montesquieu “ A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future. ” — Albert Einstein “ Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them. ” — John von Neumann “ With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk. ” — John von Neumann “ Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. ” — Winston Churchill “ Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; Wisdom is humble that he knows no more. ” — William Cowper “ The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a deal longer. ” — Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. “ By striving to do the impossible, man has always achieved what is possible. ” — Mikhail Bakunin “ I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. ” — Albert Einstein “ A person is only as big as the dream they dare to live. ” — Unknown “ Insanity is often the logic of an accurate mind overtasked. ” — Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. “ If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things. ” — Albert Einstein “ Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. ” — Carl Sagan
