"I was only wrong once, and that was because I only thought I was."
My father.

You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power - he's free again.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn


(terrible translation I know, but I couldnt find a good one!)

I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions

and, in the same vein

"Blow the dust off the clock. Your watches are behind the times. Throw open the heavy curtains which are so dear to you -- you do not even suspect that the day has already dawned outside."
A Solzhenitsyn

A few favorites:

"In short: In life, as in a football game, the principle to follow is: Hit the line hard; don't foul and don't shirk, but hit the line hard"

-Teddy Roosevelt

" 'We gotta go and never stop going til we get there'

'Where are we going, man?'

'I don't know but we gotta go'"

-Kerouac

also from kerouac: "You can't fall off a mountain!"

one of my all time favorite quotes:

"There's so many different worlds
so many different suns.
And we have just one world
but we live in different ones" -- Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms"

"That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

"I didn't do it"

-Bill Clinton

Das Herrgott würfelt nicht

(Translation - God does not play dice)

- Albert Einstein, explaining his bafflement over Niels Bohr's explanation of quantum mechanics (he had good reason, not least the way in which quantum phenomena seemed to violate relativistic causality: even today, the greatest minds in physics have yet to reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics).

Ooh, a good one. Nowadays, String Theory is said to bring together our macroscopic and microscopic worlds. Grand Unified Theory... Ah, it's a beautiful thing to unify everything. It apparently works mathematically (with the addition of about 7 more dimensions), but since strings are so small people aren't sure how to test the theory yet. Oh well. Perhaps it's one thing we weren't meant to know.:%)

"Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."
- Thomas Edison

"Build a man a fire, and you warm him for a day. Set a man on fire, and you warm him for the rest of his life."

got chalk?





that would be the gymnast side of me...heck, life's short, tumble hard


On another note...this has always been a favorite of mine:

"God made me small so I could fit perfectly into your arms."


-Formerly known as the Ferretfish

I thought that Edison quote was "Invention is 1% inspiration and 99% persperation"...
