[align=center]FAMOUS QUOTES[/align]

Thought this might be a bit of fun so here are a few to start you off...

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

Isaac Asimov.

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.

Only two things are infinite, the Universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.

Albert Einstein.
(1879-1955)

yes, it´s fun :D

first in original (german) language:

Du mußt herrschen und gewinnen,
Oder dienen und verlieren,
Leiden oder triumphieren,
Amboß oder Hammer sein.

try to translate it :D

You have to rule and to win,
Or to serve and to lose,
To suffer or to have success,
To be the anvil or the hammer.

sounds much better in german to me ;)

J. W. v. Goethe
(1749 - 1832)

The important thing is not to stop questioning.



The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and science.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.


Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex,
and more violent. It takes a touch of genius, and a lot of courage,
to move in the opposite direction.



Albert Einstein

Bit after the watershed this 1 but ho well    From Red Dwarf --->

-Rimmer's idea for dealing with the polymorph having had all of his negative emotions drained.

           `Um, I think we're all beginning to lose sight of the real issue here, which is "What are we going to call ourselves?" um, and I think it comes down to a choice between `The League Against Salivating Monsters' or my own personal preference, which is `The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society'. Um, one drawback with that... the abbreviation is `CL****IS'.
