Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

He who wonders discovers that this in itself is wonder.: M. C. Escher (1898 - 1972)
We are here to add to the sum of human goodness. To prove the thing exists. And however futile each individual act of courage or generosity, self-sacrifice or grace-it still proves the thing exists. Each act adds to the fund. It needs replenishment. Not only because evil flourishes, and is, most indefensibly, defended. But because goodness is no longer a respectable aim in life. The hound of hell, envy, has driven it from the house.: Josephine Hart, "Sin"
My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.: Cary Grant (1904 - 1986)
...it is certain that the real function of art is to increase our self-consciousness; to make us more aware of what we are, and therefore of what the universe in which we live really is. And since mathematics, in its own way, also performs this function, it is not only aesthetically charming but profoundly significant. It is an art, and a great art.: John W.N. Sullivan
If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.: George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
It's not by amusing oneself that one learns.: Anatole France (1844 - 1924)
It's only by amusing oneself that one can learn.: Edward Kasner and James R. Newman
I've seen many politicians paralyzed in the legs as myself, but I've seen more of them who were paralyzed in the head: George Wallace
It is against the grain of modern education to teach children to program. What fun is there in making plans, acquiring discipline in organizing thoughts, devoting attention to detail, and learning to be self-critical?: Alan Perlis
I have a cat named Trash. In the current political climate it would seem that if I were trying to sell him (at least to a Computer Scientist), I would not stress that he is gentle to humans and is self-sufficient, living mostly on field mice. Rather, I would argue that he is object-oriented.: Roger King
