Journalism justifies its own existence by the great Darwinian principle of the survival of the vulgarist.: Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
The phrase "we (I) (you) simply must..." designates something that need not be done. "That goes without saying" is a red warning. "Of course" means you had best check it yourself. These small-change cliches and others like them, when read correctly, are reliable channel markers.: Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"

Specialization is for insects.: Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"
Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid.

You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!: Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"
