Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

There was a blithe certainty that came from first comprehending the full Einstein field equations, arabesques of Greek letters clinging tenuously to the page, a gossamer web. They seemed insubstantial when you first saw them, a string of squiggles. Yet to follow the delicate tensors as they contracted, as the superscripts paired with subscripts, collapsing mathematically into concrete classical entities-- potential; mass; forces vectoring in a curved geometry-- that was a sublime experience. The iron fist of the real, inside the velvet glove of airy mathematics.: Gregory Benford - Timescape
What a price we pay for experience, when we must sell our youth to buy it.: Javan
There's no fool like an old fool --- you can't beat experience.: Jacob Braude
If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.: George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.: Dan Stanford
Experience is what causes a person to make new mistakes instead of old ones.: anonymous
Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.: anonymous

Experience is directly proportional to the amount of equipment ruined.: Harrisberger's Fourth Law of the Lab:
