Results from Michael Moncur's (Cynical) Quotations:

I loathe the expression "What makes him tick." It is the American mind, looking for simple and singular solution, that uses the foolish expression. A person not only ticks, he also chimes and strikes the hour, falls and breaks and has to be put together again, and sometimes stops like an electric clock in a thunderstorm.: James Thurber (1894 - 1961)
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.: Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)
- More quotations on: [Knowledge] [Ignorance]
We have a criminal jury system which is superior to any in the world; and its efficiency is only marred by the difficulty of finding twelve men every day who don't know anything and can't read.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
- More quotations on: [Crime]
The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action.: Frank Herbert (1920 - 1986)

The world is governed more by appearances than realities, so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.: Daniel Webster (1782 - 1852)

Philosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong.: Richard Feynman (1918 - 1988)
- More quotations on: [Science] [Philosophy]
To be pleased with one's limits is a wretched state.: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
I was not a child prodigy, because a child prodigy is a child who knows as much when it is a child as it does when it grows up.: Will Rogers (1879 - 1935)
We live in a Newtonian world of Einsteinian physics ruled by Frankenstein logic.: David Russell
