Citat jag gillar - ofta borde det stå "tillskrivs xxx",
eftersom det inte alltid går att bevisa vem som har sagt
vad och när. Men det här duger för mig. Huvudsaken att de
utrycker en utmanande tanke på ett utmanande sätt.
Och så gillar jag citat som driver med det högtidliga. De
påminner mig om min morfar som präglade odödliga sentenser
som "morgonstund har bly i rumpan" och liknande.
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that
heralds new discoveries, is not Eureka! but That's funny...
Isaac Asimov
Utan tvivel är man inte klok.
Tage Danielsson
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have to
at least consider the possibility that we have a small
aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.
Douglas Adams
Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do
with what happens to you.
Aldous Huxley
Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man
on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
Terry Pratchett.
[inte så seriös, men den fick mig att snubbla - mentalt -

En kvinna utan man är som en fisk utan cykel.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a
lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad
move.
Douglas Adams, HHG2G
... 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 - while all the dolphins had ever
done was muck about in the water having a good time. But
conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were
far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same
reason.
Douglas Adams, HHG2G
"The greatest source of failure and unhappiness in the
world is giving up what we want most for what we want at
the moment"
(???)
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather
scornful tone,' it means just what I choose it to mean,
neither more nor less.'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words
mean so many different things.'
'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be
master - that's all.'
