Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. (Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.): Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
Our view. . . is that it is an essential characteristic of experimentation that it is carried out with limited resources, and an essential part of the subject of experimental design to ascertain how these should be best applied; or, in particular, to which causes of disturbance care should be given, and which ought to be deliberately ignored.: Sir Ronald A. Fisher
You know how it is when you go to be the subject of a psychology experiment, and nobody else shows up, and you think maybe that's part of the experiment? I'm like that all the time.: Steven Wright (1955 - )
1. If reproducibility may be a problem, conduct the test only once. 2. If a straight line fit is required, obtain only two data points.: Velilind's Laws of Experimentation:
Why think? Why not try the experiment?: John Hunter
The true worth of an experimenter consists in his pursuing not only what he seeks in his experiment, but also what he did not seek.: Claude Bernard (1813 - 1878)
Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.: Hunter S. Thompson (1939 - 2005), "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"
I find the question "Why are we here?" typically human. I'd suggest "Are we here?" would be the more logical choice.: Leonard Nimoy
For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.: Charles Bukowski (1920 - 1994)
What can be more palpably absurd than the prospect held out of locomotives travelling twice as fast as stagecoaches?: The Quarterly Review (England), March 1825
