Quæcumque ab Aristotele dicta sunt, commentitia sunt (All Aristotle's doctrines are false) Peter Ramus (Pierre de la Ramée)	If you understand, things are such as they are; if you do not understand, things are such as they are. Gensha, Zen Master, 835-908
He whose insight penetrates here is a truly great man. Hakuin Ekaku	My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of the Four Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
We are circumveiloped by obscuritad Finnegans Wake James Joyce	The progress of science is strewn, like an ancient desert trail, with the bleached skeletons of discarded theories which once seemed to possess eternal life.    Arthur Koestler
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.    George Bernhard Shaw	Traditional scientific method has always been, at the very best, 20-20 hindsight. It's good for seeing where you've been. It's good for testing the truth of what you think you know, but it can't tell you where you ought to go.    Robert M. Pirsig
When I die and go to Heaven, there are two matters on which I hope for enlightenment. One is quantum electrodynamics and the other is the turbulent motion of fluids. And about the former I am really optimistic.    Sir Horace Lamb, 1932	I find teaching and students keep life going. And I would never accept any position in which somebody has invented a happy situation for me where I don't have to teach. Never!    Richard Feynman
