Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Logic is like the sword: those who appeal to it shall perish by it.: Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902)
Etymology, n.: Some early etymological scholars come up with derivations that were hard for the public to believe. The term "etymology" was formed from the Latin "etus" ("eaten"), the root "mal" ("bad"), and "logy" ("study of"). It meant "the study of things that are hard to swallow.": Mike Kellen
That orgy of wishful thinking that has passed for logic in the present century.: F.W. Lawvere
"Contrariwise," continued Tweedledee, "if it was so, it might be, and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic!": Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
The modern age has been characterized by a Promethean spirit, a restless energy that preys on speed records and shortcuts, unmindful of the past, uncaring of the future, existing only for the moment and the quick fix. The earthly rhythms that characterize a more pastoral way of life have been shunted aside to make room for the fast track of an urbanized existence. Lost in a sea of perpetual technological transition, modern man and woman find themselves increasingly alienated from the ecological choreography of the planet.: Jeremy Rifkin
In the mirrorlike relationship between wine and human beings, Zinfandel owned more reflective properties than any other grape; in its infinite mutability, it was capable of expressing almost any philosophical position or psychological function. As a result, its own "true" nature might never be known.: David Darlington, from his novel Angels Visits: An Inquiry into the Mystery of Zinfandel
Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice.: Will Durant (1885 - 1981)
Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
If the world were a logical place, men would ride sidesaddle.: Rita Mae Brown
