Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

The two most abundant things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.: Harlan Ellison.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.: Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)
Our American professors like their literature clear, cold, pure and very dead.: Sinclair Lewis (1885 - 1951)
Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly.: Arnold Edinborough
If you sincerely desire a _truly_ well-rounded education, you must study the extremists, the obscure and "nutty". You need the balance! Your poor brain is already being impregnated with middle-of-the-road crap, twenty-four hours a day, _no matter what_. Network TV, newspapers, radio, magazines at the supermarket... even if you never watch, read, listen, or leave your house, even if you are deaf and blind, the _telepathic pressure alone_ of the uncountable normals surrounding you will insure that you are automatically well- grounded in consensus reality.: Rev. Ivan Stang - High Weirdness By Mail
And what is a good citizen? Simply one who never says, does or thinks anything that is unusual. Schools are maintained in order to bring this uniformity up to the highest possible point. A school is a hopper into which children are heaved while they are still young and tender; therein they are pressed into certain standard shapes and covered from head to heels with official rubber-stamps.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
One must have a heart of stone to read the death of Little Nell without laughing.: Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
Public display of mourning is no longer made by people of fashion, although some flashier kinds of widows may insist on sleeping with only black men during the first year after the death.: PJ O'Rourke
Rincewind had been told that death was just like going into another room. The difference is, when you shout, 'Where's my clean socks?' no-one answers.: Terry Pratchett, "Eric"
Dying is not romantic, and death is not a game which will soon be over... Death is not anything...death is not...It's the absence of presence, nothing more...the endless time of never coming back...a gap you can't see, and when the wind blows through it, it makes no sound...: Tom Stoppard (1937 - )
