Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

There once was a young man from Lyme Who couldn't get his limericks to rhyme When asked "Why not?" It was said that he thought They were probably too long and badly structured and not at all very funny.: Anonymous
There was a young woman named Jenny, Whose limericks weren't worth a penny. Her rhythm and rhyme Were perfectly fine But whenever she tried to write any, She always had one line too many.: Anonymous
There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: the fashionable non-conformist.: Ayn Rand (1905 - 1982)
There was a young man of Dundoo, Whose limericks stopped at line 2.: Anonymous
There is nothing like good food, good wine, and a bad girl.: Fortune cookie
Women! Can't live with them...pass the beer nuts.: Norm (Cheers)
A consistent pursuit of classical physics forces a transformation in the very heart of that physics.: Werner Heisenberg, Philosophical Problems of Nuclear Science, New York: Fawcett 1966, p.13
We must avoid here two complementary errors: on the one hand that the world has a unique, intrinsic, pre-existing structure awaiting our grasp; and on the other hand that the world is in utter chaos. The first error is that of the student who marvelled at how the astronomers could find out the true names of distant constellations. The second error is that of the Lewis Carroll's Walrus who grouped shoes with ships and sealing wax, and cabbages with kings...: R. Abel, Man is the Measure, New York: Free Press, 1976
Einstein's space is no closer to reality than Van Gogh's sky. The glory of science is not in a truth more absolute than the truth of Bach or Tolstoy, but in the act of creation itself. The scientist's discoveries impose his own order on chaos, as the composer or painter imposes his; an order that always refers to limited aspects of reality, and is based on the observer's frame of reference, which differs from period to period as a Rembrant nude differs from a nude by Manet.: Arthur Koestler (1905 - 1983), The Act of Creation, London, 1970, p. 253
Somebody once asked Niels Bohr why he had a horseshoe hanging above the front door of his house. "Surely you, a world famous physicist, can't really believe that hanging a horseshoe above your door brings you luck?". "Of course not," Bohr replied, "but I have been reliably informed that it will bring me luck whether I believe in it or not.": Neils Bohr
