(OOC) Quotation Meme
True happiness is of a retired nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise; it arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.
Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719), The Spectator, March 17, 1911
Children are born true scientists. They spontaneously experiment and experience and reexperience again. They select, combine, and test, seeking to find order in their experiences - "which is the mostest? which is the leastest?" They smell, taste, bite, and touch-test for hardness, softness, springiness, roughness, smoothness, coldness, warmness: they heft, shake, punch, squeeze, push, crush, rub, and try to pull things apart.
R. Buckminster Fuller (1895 - 1983)
The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Man and Superman" (1903), act I
Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.
Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)
Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one.
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
