One who thinks but does not learn is in great danger. -- Confucius   13 Clever talk and a pretentious manner are seldom found in good people.   -- Confucius   14 What satisfies me the most? Basically, that I've never worked for a living.   -- Marcel Duchamp   15 Even if I could try a civil suit as well as anyone, it would be better to bring it about that there were no civil suits. -- Confucius   16 Int[V8] ( ( d^2~H8 /\ *d^2H8 + + F8 /\ *F8 + + ~S8± (gamma)d S8± ) + + gg + n'(Dg/DA)dn)   17 You can make a model of anything from the harmonic functions on the unit disk.   -- Feller   18 It is more important to have beauty in one's equations than to have them fit experiment. -- Dirac   19 The whole purpose of physics is to find a number, with decimal points, etc! Otherwise you haven't done anything. -- Feynman   20 Another peculiarity of 4-dimensional space is the occurrence of the 24-cell, which stands quite alone. -- Coxeter   21 If you calculate a result that disagrees with experiment, you need courage to say the experiment must be wrong. -- Feynman   22 Good people who hold the left side of a contract do not take unfair advantage.   -- Lao Tzu   23 To lead with cleverness brings harm. To lead without cleverness brings benefit. -- Lao Tzu   24 Why is there something instead of nothing? < > enables us to build the world from 0. -- Finkelstein & Rodriguez   25 Maybe other worlds have folks with more advanced brains. Maybe not. Either way, it's a mighty sobering thought. - Kelly (Porkypine and Pogo)   26 I believe that the theory that space is continuous is wrong, because we get infinities and other difficulties. -- Feynman   27 Whenever a creature was faced with several possible courses of action, it took them all, thereby creating many distinct histories of the cosmos. - O.S.   28 Charge is just the ability to make virtual photons, and the electric field is nothing but the virtual photon cloud. -- Gonick and Huffman   29 I believe nobody will read this book for 100 years, but I don't care. -- Kepler, about 100 years before Newton   30 Kepler was a better scientist than Galileo. Galileo did experiments that others might have done. Kepler did things other people would not do.-E.T.   31 I am One that transforms into Two. I am Two that transforms into Four. I am Four that transforms into Eight. After this I am One again. -- Hermopolitan creation myth (quoted by Schneider)   32 There are two camps in the current world. In one camp the common good is sought for the masses, while the other camp specializes in keeping most of the benefits for the people in the ruling class. -- Hua Loo-Keng 33 A mathematician has to be judged by his research accomplishments and not by the number of university degrees earned. -- Wang Yuan in his book "Hua Loo-Keng"   34 The death of Zhou Enlai in 1976 was marked by Comet West. The death of Deng Xiaoping in 1997 was marked by Comet Hale-Bopp.   35 If some years were added to my life, I would give fifty to the study of I Ching, and then I might come to be without great faults. -- Confucius 36 A thorough advocate in a just cause, a penetrating mathematician facing the starry heavens, both alike bear the semblance of divinity. - G.   37 Wagner was a wonderful sunset that had been mistaken for a dawn.   -- Debussy   38 Life computers can reproduce!   -- Conway and Guy     39 "Beauty is truth, truth beauty", -- that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. -- Keats   40 I believe that all things are fundamentally interconnected, but some things are a great deal more interconnected than others. - Adams (Gently)   41 Music has no meaning or purpose other than to be itself.   -- Adams (MacDuff)   42 42: The Tao produced the One. The One produced the Two. The Two produced the Three.
