Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Nobody can be exactly like me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it.: Tallulah Bankhead (1903 - 1968)
The idea of hunting and gathering as the best way for life has become quite popular recently, much more popular in some circles than the idea of simple farming as the best way of life. Many of the new primitives regard the beginnings of agriculture as one of humanity's major steps in the wrong direction. Most of the people who are drawn to such ideas do their actual hunting and gathering in grocery stores, but the *feeling* is there; it takes the form of a religion...expressed by particpating in American Indian rituals - or primitive-style rituals that are created anew.: Walter Truett Anderson - "Reality Isn't What it Used to Be"
Man is never honestly the fatalist, nor even the stoic. He fights his fate, often desperately. He is forever entering bold exceptions to the rulings of the bench of gods. This fighting, no doubt, makes for human progress, for it favors the strong and the brave. It also makes for beauty, for lesser men try to escape from a hopeless and intolerable world by creating a more lovely one of their own.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
I'm very well acquainted too with matters mathematical, I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical, About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot of news-- With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.: Gilbert & Sullivan, "The Pirates of Penzance"
All the limitative Theorems of metamathematics and the theory of computation suggest that once the ability to represent your own structure has reached a certain critical point, that is the kiss of death: it guarantees that you can never represent yourself totally. Godel's Incompleteness Theorem, Church's Undecidability Theorem, Turing's Halting Problem, Turski's Truth Theorem-- all have the flavour of some ancient fairy tale which warns you that "To seek self- knowledge is to embark on a journey which . . . will always be incomplete, cannot be charted on a map, will never halt, cannot be described.": Douglas R. Hofstadter
Any impatient student of mathematics or science or engineering who is irked by having algebraic symbolism thrust upon him should try to get along without it for a week.: Eric Temple Bell
Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they translate into their own language, and forthwith it is something entirely different.: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
The seven deadly sins ... Food, clothing, firing, rent, taxes, respectability and children. Nothing can lift those seven milestones from man's neck but money; and the spirit cannot soar until the milestones are lifted.: George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
The subspace W inherits the other 8 properties of V. And there aren't even any property taxes.: J. MacKay, Mathematics 134b
Unquestionably, there is progress. The average American now pays out twice as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
