Results from Classic Quotes:

When I received the Nobel Prize, the only big lump sum of money I have ever seen, I had to do something with it. The easiest way to drop this hot potato was to invest it, to buy shares. I knew that World War II was coming and I was afraid that if I had shares which rise in case of war, I would wish for war. So I asked my agent to buy shares which go down in the event of war. This he did. I lost my money and saved my soul.: Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (1893 - 1986), The Crazy Ape
I think it's about time we voted for senators with breasts. After all, we've been voting for boobs long enough.: Claire Sargent, on women candidates, The World Almanac and Book of Facts, 1993
The three dots '...' here suppress a lot of detail -- maybe I should have used four dots.: Donald E. Knuth (1938 - )
We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.: John Adams (1735 - 1826)
It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.: J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Human consciousness arose but a minute before midnight on the geological clock. Yet we mayflies try to bend an ancient world to our purposes, ignorant perhaps of the messages buried in its long history. Let us hope that we are still in the early morning of our April day.: Stephen Jay Gould (1941 - 2002)
The process of preparing programs for a digital computer is especially attractive, not only because it can be economically and scientifically rewarding, but also because it can be an aesthetic experience much like composing poetry or music.: Donald E. Knuth (1938 - )
If you look up 'Intelligence' in the new volumes of the Encyclopeadia Britannica, you'll find it classified under the following three heads: Intelligence, Human; Intelligence, Animal; Intelligence, Military. My stepfather's a perfect specimen of Intelligence, Military.: Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)
To the biologist the problem of socialism appears largely as a problem of size. The extreme socialists desire to run every nation as a single business concern. I do not suppose that Henry Ford would find much difficulty in running Andorra or Luxembourg on a socialistic basis. He has already more men on his pay-roll than their population. It is conceivable that a syndicate of Fords, if we could find them, would make Belgium Ltd. or Denmark Inc. pay their way. But while nationalization of certain industries is an obvious possibility in the largest of states, I find it no easier to picture a completely socialized British Empire or United States than an elephant turning somersaults or a hippopotamus jumping a hedge.: J. B. S. Haldane (1892 - 1964), "On Being the Right Size" in the (1928) book "Possible Worlds"
My own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we *can* suppose.: J. B. S. Haldane (1892 - 1964), "On Being the Right Size" in the (1928) book "Possible Worlds"
