More Quotations
George Bernard Shaw

Charlotte Bronte

Professor Edsger Dijkstra
Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
G. C. Lichtenberg
I cannot say whether things will get better if we change what I can say is they must change if they are to get better.
Stanislaus J. Lec
In a war of ideas, it is people who get killed.
Confucius, The Confucian Analects
When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge.
Buddha
Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.
Melaine Rawn, "Dragon Prince 1: Dragon Prince"
In that instant he learned what jealousy was. He wanted to know the name of every other man she had ever looked at, whether they had touched her- and most especially where to find these men so that he could kill them.
Alan Alda
Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You cannot get there by bus, only by hard work, risking and by not quite knowing what you are doing. What you will discover will be wonderful; yourself.
Gamal Abdel Nasser
The genius of you Americans is that you never make clear-cut stupid moves, only complicated stupid moves which make us wonder at the possibility that there may be something to them -which- we are missing.
Sydney Smith
Live always in the best company when you read.
Thomas Love Peacock
Names are changed more readily than doctrines, and doctrines more readily than ceremonies. ¶ 12:28 AM
