Results from Cole's Quotables:

There are one-story intellects, two-story intellects, and three-story intellects with skylights. All fact collectors with no aim beyond their facts are one-story men. Two-story men compare reason and generalize, using labors of the fact collectors as well as their own. Three-story men idealize, imagine, and predict. Their best illuminations come from above through the skylight.: Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809 - 1894)
There are but few saints amongst scientists, as among other men, but truth itself is a goal comparable with sanctity.: George Sarton, History of Science
I am responsible only to God and history.: Francisco Franco

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

It is [the] belief in absolutes, I would hazard, that is the great enemy today of the life of the mind. This may seem a rash proposition. The fashion of the time is to denounce relativism as the root of all evil. But history suggests that the damage done to humanity by the relativist is far less than the damage done by the absolutist - by the fellow who, as Mr. Dooley once put it, "does what he thinks th' Lord wud do if He only knew th' facts in th' case.": Arthur Schlesinger Jr.
Monty Python's usual schoolboy humour is here let loose on a period of history appropriately familiar to every schoolboy in the West, and a faith which could be shaken by such good-humoured ribaldry would be a very precarious faith indeed.: The British Board Of Film Censors, in their report on _Life of Brian_
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
In the South of California has gathered the larges and most miscellaneous assortment of Messiahs, Sorcerers, Saints and Seers known to the history of aberrations.: Farnsworth Crowder
Women with pasts interest men... they hope history will repeat itself.: Mae West (1892 - 1980)
Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the bible is filled, it would seem more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.: Thomas Paine (1737 - 1809)
For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.: Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941)
