When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical may be madness. To surrender dreams, this may be madness. To seek treasures where there is only trash...Too much sanity may be madness, and maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be.

George Bernard Shaw

Quotations:

S. Barry Lipkin

Ken Thompson


Just think -- IBM and DEC in the same room -- and we did it. Makes you feel warm inside.

Bertrand Russell


It is because modern education is so seldom inspired by a great hope that it so seldom achieves great results. The wish to preserve the past rather than the hope of creating the future dominates the minds of those who control the teaching of the young.

W. H. Auden

As we look back on it, it slips in behind us in orderly array, and, with all its mistakes, acquires a sort of eternal fitness, and even, at times, of poetic glamour.

Fran Lebowitz


All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.
