Quote of the Day
There are limits beyond which your folly will not carry you. I am glad of that. In fact, I am relieved.
—Isaac Asimov
Quote of the Day
Considerate la vostra semenza:
fatti non foste a viver come bruti,
ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza.
Consider your origin;
you were not born to live like brutes,
but to follow virtue and knowledge.
—Dante Alighieri
Quote of the Day
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
—Albert Einstein
Quote of the Day
The aim of science is not to open the door to infinite wisdom, but to set some limit on infinite error.
—Bertolt Brecht
Quote of the Day
Wo die Liebe herrscht, da gibt es keinen machtwillen, und wo die macht den vorrang hat, da fehlt die Liebe. Das eine ist der Schatten des andern. Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
—Carl Jung
Quote of the Day
The real trouble with this world of ours is not that it is an unreasonable world, nor even that it is a reasonable one. The commonest kind of trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not quite. Life is not an illogicality; yet it is a trap for logicians. It looks just a little more mathematical and regular than it is; its exactitude is obvious, but its inexactitude is hidden; its wildness lies in wait.
—G. K. Chesterton
