Favorite quotes

“ Knowledge is indivisible. When people grow wise in one direction, they are sure to make it easier for themselves to grow wise in other directions as well. On the other hand, when they split up knowledge, concentrate on their own field, and scorn and ignore other fields, they grow less wise — even in their own field. ” — Issac Asimov - The Roving Mind (1983)

“ Their fundamental design flaws are completely hidden by their superficial design flaws. ”

“ It is very easy to be blinded by the essential uselessness of them by the sense of achievement you get from getting them to work at all. ” — the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation in So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish by Douglas Adams

“ To fly to the sun without burning a wing
To lie in a meadow and hear the grass sing ” — Departure by the Moody Blues

“ Do to recent cutbacks,
the light at the end of the tunnel
has been turned off until further notice. ” — Recycled Paper Greetings

“ We have met the enemy and he is us. ” — Pogo by Walt Kelly

“ For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground and tell sad tales of the death of kings. ” — William Shakespeare - The Tradegy of King Richard the Second Act III Scene II

“ We lived like that "Happy Family" you sometimes see in traveling zoos: a lion caged with a lamb. It is a startling exhibit but the lamb has to be replaced frequently. ” — Have Space Suit — Will Travel by Robert Heinlein

“ Age is not an accomplishment, and youth is not a sin. ” — Methuselah's Children by Robert Heinlein
