Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Knowledge is not a series of self-consistent theories that converges toward an ideal view; it is rather an ever increasing ocean of mutually incompatible (and perhaps even incommensurable) alternatives, each single theory, each fairy tale, each myth that is part of the collection forcing the others into greater articulation and all of them contributing, via this process of competition, to the development of our consciousness.: Paul Feyerabend
The whole problem with news on television comes down to this: all the words uttered in an hour of news coverage could be printed on page of a newspaper. And the world cannot be understood in one page.: Neil Postman
There are, however, people in this world who seldom pick up a newspaper, people who, when watching television, sneer in displeasure and change channels at the first glimpse of an anchorperson. While such willfully uninformed citizens are rare, emerging from seclusion only to serve on juries in trials of great national significance, they do exist.: Joe Keenan
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
Stay away from needle drugs. Richard Nixon is the only dope worth shooting.: Abbie Hoffman (1936 - 1989)
The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.: Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001), The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
What a glorious garden of wonders the lights of Broadway would be to anyone lucky enough to be unable to read.: G.K. Chesterton
[F]or academic men to be happy, the universe would have to take shape. All of philosophy has no other goal: it is a matter of giving a frock coat to what is, a mathematical frock coat. On the other hand, affirming that the universe resembles nothing and is only formless amounts to saying that the universe is something like a spider or spit.: Battaille
Although the whole of this life were said to be nothing but a dream and the physical world nothing but a phantasm, I should call this dream or phatasm real enough, if, using reason well, we were never deceived by it.: Baron Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz
Nature gets credit which should in truth be reserved for ourselves: the rose for its scent, the nightingale for its song; and the sun for its radiance. The poets are entirely mistaken. They should address their lyrics to themselves and should turn them into odes of self congratulation on the excellence of the human mind.: Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947)
