Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

We must avoid here two complementary errors: on the one hand that the world has a unique, intrinsic, pre-existing structure awaiting our grasp; and on the other hand that the world is in utter chaos. The first error is that of the student who marvelled at how the astronomers could find out the true names of distant constellations. The second error is that of the Lewis Carroll's Walrus who grouped shoes with ships and sealing wax, and cabbages with kings...: R. Abel, Man is the Measure, New York: Free Press, 1976
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
If dogs could talk, it would take a lot of the fun out of owning one.: Andrew A. Rooney
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)
Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.: Andrew Brown
Never judge a book by its movie.: J.W. Eagan
Where do I find the time for not reading so many books?: Karl Kraus (1874 - 1936)
The reason why so few good books are written is that so few people who can write know anything.: Walter Bagehot (1826 - 1877)
