Well. my friend, where you there when I called out to my Captain, oh my captain, spin 'em to the hubs? No, you were not. Did you smell the smoke, no, you did not. Did you pick up the back bumper so he could replace the tyres, no, you did not. My Captain has long passed. But the memory of his chaigrin will long outlive him. Spin 'em to the hubs, my Captain, spin 'em to the hubs. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

'Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons.' ~ Douglas Adams It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." Robert A. Heinlein |

Not exactly famous, but one of my favorites...... “Almira Gulch … For twenty-three years I’ve been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now… well, being a Christian woman, I can’t say it!†"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

"Not to trust, but to know" Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand Can't believe I didn't notice this until now. Where've you been anyway, Bobby? Founder of BOINC team Objectivists. Oh the humanity! Rational people crunching data! I did NOT authorize this belly writing! |
