Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Einstein's space is no closer to reality than Van Gogh's sky. The glory of science is not in a truth more absolute than the truth of Bach or Tolstoy, but in the act of creation itself. The scientist's discoveries impose his own order on chaos, as the composer or painter imposes his; an order that always refers to limited aspects of reality, and is based on the observer's frame of reference, which differs from period to period as a Rembrant nude differs from a nude by Manet.: Arthur Koestler (1905 - 1983), The Act of Creation, London, 1970, p. 253
Somebody once asked Niels Bohr why he had a horseshoe hanging above the front door of his house. "Surely you, a world famous physicist, can't really believe that hanging a horseshoe above your door brings you luck?". "Of course not," Bohr replied, "but I have been reliably informed that it will bring me luck whether I believe in it or not.": Neils Bohr
My empty waterdish mocks me.: Bob the Dog
A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three times before lying down.: Robert Benchley (1889 - 1945)
The reason why so few good books are written is that so few people who can write know anything.: Walter Bagehot (1826 - 1877)
Would I had phrases that are not known, utterances that are strange, in new language that has not been used, free from repetition, not an utterance which has grown stale, which men of old have spoken.: Egyptian Inscription Recorded at the Time of the Invention of Writing
Usenet is like Tetris for people who still remember how to read.: Button from the Computer Museum, Boston, MA
Usenet isn't a right. It's a right, a left, and a swift uppercut to the jaw.: Button from the Computer Museum, Boston, MA
In matters of conscience, the law of majority has no place.: Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant.: John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873), "On Liberty", 1859
