Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

"Well, now, hold onta yer horses, there, Frazier. I mean, as a psychiatrist, isn't it your job to, uh, `seek and uphold the truth'?" "Oh, get real, Cliff.": Cheers
Truth I have no trouble with, it's the facts I get all screwed up.: Farley Mowat
In Einstein's theory of relativity the observer is a man who sets out in quest of truth armed with a measuring-rod. In quantum theory he sets out with a sieve.: Sir Arthur Eddington (1882 - 1944)
I want to know the truth, however perverted that may sound.: Stephen Wolfram
A lie can travel halfway round the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
What is the difference between unethical and ethical advertising? Unethical advertising uses falsehoods to deceive the public; ethical advertising uses truth to deceive the public.: Vilhjalmur Stefanss
The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.: Paul Valery (1871 - 1945)
Scientists are the easiest to fool. They think in straight, predictable, directable, and therefore misdirectable, lines. The only world they know is the one where everything has a logical explanation and things are what they appear to be. Children and conjurors--they terrify me. Scientists are no problem; against them I feel quite confident.: Zambendorf, _Code of the Lifemaker_ by James P. Hogan
I almost think it is the ultimate destiny of science to exterminate the human race.: Thomas Love Peacock
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.: H.P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
