Death creates nothing. I give death unto you.
Evangelion

"Give me a healthy body, Lord: with sense to keep it
at it's best. Give me a healthy mind, good Lord: to keep the
good and pure in sight. Which seeing sin is not appalled -
but finds a way to set it right
Give me a sense of humor,
Lord. To get some happiness from life and pass it on to other
folk."
Prayer found in Chester Cathedral

There's nothing to understanding people.
All you have to do is take a close look at yourself and you
will understand everyone else.

You`ll have to let it all go now: fear,

You know, Hobbes, some days even my
lucky rocket-ship underpants don't help.

Man will occasionally stumble over the
truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue
on as though nothing happened.
Churchill

Look into my eyes and see what I feel, look into my mind and
see how I think, look into my soul and see the truth.

Kill them all, you're a god.

Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end

All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are
immovable, those that are moveable, and those that move.

Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for

of a trivial truth is plainly false. The
opposite of a great truth is also true."
Niels Bohr

Knowledge is power ... but power corrupts ... and corruption
is a crime ... and crime doesn't pay ... so if you keep on
studying YOU'LL GO BROKE!

Calvin: You know, I don't think math
is a science, I think it's a religion.
Hobbes: A religion?
Calvin: Yeah. All these equations are like miracles. You take
two numbers and when you add them, they magically become one
NEW number! No one can say how it happens. You either believe
it or you don't. [Pointing at his math book] This whole book
is full of things that have to be accepted on faith! It's
a religion!
Hobbes: And in the public schools no less. Call a lawyer.
Calvin: [Looking at his homework] As a math atheist, I should
be excused from this.
|
Suppose we loosely define a religion as any discipline whose
foundations rest on an element of faith, irrespective of any
element of reason which may be present. Quantum mechanics
for example would be a religion under this definition. But
mathematics would hold the unique position of being the only
branch of theology possessing a rigorous demonstration of
the fact that it should be so classified.
F. De Sua

It is not only the juror's right, but his duty to find the
verdict according to his own best understanding, judgement
and conscience, though in direct opposition to the instruction
of the court.
John Adams

Murder is a crime. Describing murder is not.
Sex is not a crime. Describing sex is.

"The Internet is totally out of control, impossible to map

So far, so good."

When in doubt, use brute force.

Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual
disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then
you had the urge to pass it on.

You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going,

Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't
believe impossible things." "I daresay you haven't had much
practice," said the Queen. "When I was younger, I always did
it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as
many as six impossible things before breakfast."
Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Caroll

"Then you should say what you mean," the March Hare went on.
"I do, " Alice hastily replied; "at least I mean what I say,
that's the same thing, you know." "Not the same thing a bit!"
said the Hatter. "Why, you might just as well say that "I
see what I eat" is the same thing as "I eat what I see!"
Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll

Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians
go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. I
am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only
say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination.
G.K.Chesterton
|
You can only find truth with logic if
you have already found truth without it.
G.K.Chesterton
|
Logic, like whiskey,
loses its beneficial effect when taken in too large quantities.
Lord Dunsany
|
And who can doubt that it will lead to the worst disorders
when minds created free by God are compelled to submit slavishly
to an outside will? When we are told to deny our senses and
subject them to the whim of others? When people devoid of
whatsoever competence are made judges over experts and are
granted authority to treat them as they please? These are
the novelties which are apt to bring about the ruin of commonwealths
and the subversion of the state.
Galileo Galilei

You know that I write slowly. This is chiefly because I am
never satisfied until I have said as much as possible in a
few words, and writing briefly takes far more time than writing
at length.
K.F.Gauss

A time will however come (as I believe) when physiology will
invade and destroy mathematical physics, as the latter has
destroyed geometry.

...the student skit at Christmas contained a plaintive line:
"Give us Master's exams that our faculty can pass, or give

The real danger is not that computers will begin to think
