whose aperature has edges. There is darkness outside this circular patch,
while it is relatively light within it -- and this is where the Colours
first occur -- where the Light adjoins Dark. This is the primal phenomenon,
that Colours arise at the borders, where Light and Dark work together.

it is against human nature to be really interested in what is
of no use. If you say that a beautiful thing is always interesting,
I answer, that a beautiful thing is of the highest use.

Yes -- something isn't right, so he tries to conceal it.
(Jeff Johnson, 'The Face of the Deep', 1980) ";
quotes[1222]="Our repeated failure to fully act as we would wish
must not discourage us. It is the sincere intention
that is the essential thing, and this will in time
release us from the bondage of habits which at present
seem almost insuperable. (Thomas Troward) ";
quotes[1223]="The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives.
The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the
Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.

quotes[1224]="Solitude is independence. It had been my wish and with
the years I had attained it. It was cold. Oh, cold enough!
But it was also still, wonderfully still and vast like
the cold stillness of space in which the stars revolve.
(Herman Hesse, Steppenwolf) ";
quotes[1225]="It is not towards enlightenment where we each need to journey
but as simple as the chances that life brings to us.

Its as simple as that, but somewhere we forgot.

quotes[1226]="The best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs,

In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Centre

quotes[1227]="Every activity meets with opposition,
everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately
opponents also. But not because people want to be
opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships
force people to take different points of view.

quotes[1229]="It has taken me years of struggle, hard work and research

quotes[1230]="I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...
Attack Ships on fire off the shores of Orion.
I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark off of Tanhauser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time... like tears, in rain.
Time to die. (Rutger Hauer in Bladerunner) ";

quotes[1234]="There are two ways of constructing a software design; one way is to
make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the
other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious
deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult. (C. A. R. Hoare) ";
quotes[1235]="The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to
a particular mood of happiness, but in allowing happiness to change
its form without being disappointed by the change; for happiness,
like a child, must be allowed to grow up.
(Charles Langbridge Morgan) ";
quotes[1236]="I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

quotes[1237]="I see now that the path I choose... makes me what I am.

what I am becoming. (Daniel Keyes, Flowers for Algernon) ";

to give your brain time to recover from the acute
symptoms of its disease - that of thinking.

quotes[1239]="Sometimes when I get up in the morning, I feel very peculiar.
I feel like I've just got to bite a cat! I feel like if I don't
bite a cat before sundown, I'll go crazy! But then I just take
a deep breath and forget about it. That's what is known as real maturity.
(Snoopy) ";

quotes[1241]="The real test of friendship is: Can you literally do nothing
with the other person? Can you enjoy together those moments
of life that are utterly simple? They are the moments people
look back on at the end of life and number as their most sacred
experiences. (Eugene Kennedy) ";
quotes[1242]="You know of old my ways of settling anywhere,
of selecting a little cottage in some cosy spot,

Here, too, I have discovered such a snug,
comfortable place, which possesses peculiar charms for me.

Stares thee, in rock, bush, river, in the face.

All that interests a man, is man.

quotes[1244]="Case had always taken it for granted that the real bosses,

than people... He'd always imagined it as a gradual and
willing accommodation of the machine, the system, the
parent organism. (William Gibson, Neuromancer) ";
quotes[1245]="All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological

the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence,
a condition to which they are quickly addicted. (Frank Herbert) ";
quotes[1246]="One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger

you will reduce the danger by half.
Never run away from anything. Never!

quotes[1247]="It's hard to believe that something which is neither seen
nor felt can do so much harm. --That's true. But an idea

in the mines all these centuries. A mistaken idea.
(Vanna and Kirk, 'The Cloud Minders', Stardate 5819.0) ";
quotes[1248]="In America everybody is of the opinion that he has no social superiors,
since all men are equal, but he does not admit that he has no social inferiors,
for, from the time of Jefferson onward, the doctrine that all men are equal
applies only upwards, not downwards. (Bertrand Russell) ";
quotes[1249]="Everything tends to make us believe that there exists
a certain point of the mind at which life and death,
the real and the imagined, past and future,
the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low,
cease to be perceived as contradicitons.

quotes[1250]="On two occasions I have been asked (by members of Parliament!),
'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures,
will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to
apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke
such a question. (Charles Babbage) ";
quotes[1251]="I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after
even if it has only one great page in it: we must search for fragments,
splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is
capable of resuscitating the body and soul.
(Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer) ";
quotes[1252]="It is well enough known that if you dig deep in any old garden,
such as this one, ancient perhaps forgotten flowers will appear.
The fashion has changed, they have been neglected or uprooted,
but all the time their life is hid below.
(George MacDonald, Surgeon in 'Paul Faber') ";
quotes[1253]="I know war as few other men now living know it,
and nothing to me is more revolting.
I have long advocated its complete abolitionment,
as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe
has rendered it useless as a method of settling
international disputes. (Douglas MacArthur) ";
quotes[1254]="There she looks like a painting...
Jackson Pollock's Number Five.
Come into the forest and taste the trees...
The sun starts shining, and I'm hard to please...

All thoughts of sleep desert me,
There is no time...

quotes[1255]="Tomorrow, I will continue to be.
But you will have to be very attentive to see me.
I will be a flower, or a leaf.

When I fail to practice for three days,
the whole world can tell the difference.

quotes[1257]="In the lap of modern civilization there are twin worlds
struggling with each other for leadership. But these two worlds
are not, as people are apt to think, Europe and America.
Their names are Quality and Quantity.
(Guglielmo Ferrero, The Atlantic, Nov. 1913, 'The Riddle of America') ";
quotes[1258]="As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful
as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate
a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value
than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.
(Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena v2) ";
quotes[1259]="There's no way to rule innocent men.
The only power any government has is
the power to crack down on criminals.
Well, when there aren't enough criminals,
one makes them. One declares so many
things to be a crime that it becomes
impossible to live without breaking laws.

We fudge things to get ahead without thinking about it much or meaning to.
There are many levels of falsity, conscious and unconscious, in the way we live.
(Tobias Wolff, in 'The Writing Obsession,' Atlantic Monthly) ";
quotes[1261]="We broke up before we [the Dead Kennedys] sucked so don't ask
about any reunions. I love punk music but punk nostalgia is poison
just like any nostalgia is poison. This is what happens when people
listen to nothing but other punk music or metal, etc.
(Jello Biafra, Spreading the Positive Disease) ";
quotes[1262]="You gain strength, courage and confidence
by every experience in which you really stop
to look fear in the face.
You are able to say to yourself, 'I've lived through
this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'
You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
(Eleanor Roosevelt) ";
quotes[1263]="Two souls, alas, are housed within my breast,
and each will wrestle for the mastery there.
The one has passion's cravings crude for love,
and hugs a world where sweet the senses rage;
the other strongly rises from the gloom
to lofty heights of ancient heritage.
(Goethe, Faust I, Scene 2) ";
quotes[1264]="Sense-perceptible reality is such a riddle to us precisely because we
do not find its centre within itself. It ceases to be a riddle to us
when we recognize that sense-perceptible reality has the same centre
as the thought-world that comes to manifestation within us.
(Steiner, Goethean Science, GA1) ";
quotes[1265]="Tenderness emerges from the fact that the two persons,
longing, as all individuals do,
to overcome the separateness and isolation
to which we are all heir because we are individuals,
can participate in a relationship that, for the moment,
is not of two isolated selves but a union.
(Rollo May) ";
quotes[1266]="Nothing distresses me more than to see men torment each other;
particularly when in the flower of their age,
in the very season of pleasure,
they waste their few short days of sunshine
in quarrels and disputes, and only percieve
their error when it is too late to repair it.
(Goethe, Werther) ";
quotes[1267]="The tree which moves some to tears of joy
is in the eyes of others only a green thing
that stands in the way.
Some see nature all ridicule and deformity...
and some scarce see nature at all.
But to the eyes of the man of imagination,
nature is imagination itself.
(William Blake, 1757-1827) ";
quotes[1268]="Should your glance on mornings lovely
Lift to drink the heaven's blue
Or when sun, vieled by sirocco,
Royal red sinks out of view --
Give to Nature praise and honour.
Blithe of heart and sound of eye,
Knowing for the world of colour
Where its broad foundations lie.

quotes[1270]="Although scientists themselves are well aware of the importance of
the free exchange of information within the research community, a
community that transcends national boundaries, the public may not
necessarily be convinced that scientists can be trusted to this extent.
(Abigail Salyers, Science, April 2002) ";
quotes[1271]="We are becoming like cats, slyly parasitic,
enjoying an indifferent domesticity.
Nice and snug in the social, our historic passions
have withdrawn into the glow of an artificial coziness,
and our half-closed eyes now seek little other than
the peaceful parade of television pictures.
(Jean Baudrillard) ";
quotes[1272]="The really good idea is always traceable back quite a long way,
often to a not very good idea which sparked off another idea
that was only slightly better, which somebody else misunderstood
in such a way that they then said something which was really
rather interesting. (John Cleese, Ministry of Silly Walks) ";
quotes[1273]="Monty Python's usual schoolboy humour is here let loose on a period
of history appropriately familiar to every schoolboy in the West,
and a faith which could be shaken by such good-humoured ribaldry
would be a very precarious faith indeed.
(British Board Of Film Censors, in their report on 'Life of Brian') ";
quotes[1274]="Libra thus seems best understood as a process rather than a result:
it is the active moment of balancing, or trying to maintain balance,
rather than any sort of static or permanent state...
The Golden Mean then is equilbrium, a dynamic asymetrical
state of balance, alive with precarious possibility. (Rob Baker) ";
quotes[1275]="Goethe... never rejected anything entirely... [he] said to himself,
'If so many people find so much in Kant, one must let them; indeed,
one must make an effort to examine somenthing which to oneself seems
not very significant -- and perhaps one will find a hidden significance
in it after all'. (Steiner, GA 188) ";
quotes[1276]="These moments make your heart retreat
They open your eyes
Find out what you could do
And all that's left for me to do
is to come back down inside...
Well I live in this place
With a natural grace
As I walk through confusion
With a smile...
With a smile on my face.
(Ride, Natural Grace) ";
quotes[1277]="Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.
Just as a continuously growing cancer eventually destroys its
life-support systems by destroying its host, a continuously
expanding global economy is slowly destroying its host- the
Earth's ecosystem. (Edward Abbey, State of the World report, 1998) ";
quotes[1278]="I am credited with being one of the hardest workers and perhaps I am,
if thought is the equivalent of labour, for I have devoted to it almost all
of my waking hours. But if work is interpreted to be a definite performance
in a specified time according to a rigid rule, then I may be the worst of idlers.
(Nikola Tesla) ";
quotes[1279]="That which exists through itself is called The Eternal.
The Eternal has neither name nor shape.
It is the one essence, the one primal spirit.
Essence and life cannot be seen.
They are contained in the light of heaven.
The light of heaven cannot be seen.
It is contained in the two eyes.
(Bertrand Russell) ";
quotes[1280]="But there is no consensus... on how a particle chooses
which of its many possible futures to follow,
nor even on whether it really does choose
or instead spins off like a branching tributary
to live out all possible futures in an
ever-expanding arena of parallel universes.
(Brian Greene, The Elegant Universe) ";
quotes[1281]="If there were no plants then in a short time the breath of life
would become tainted; for men and animals inhale oxygen and
breathe out life-destroying carbonic-acid. Yet the plants
inhale carbonic-acid and give out oxygen. Here then the
higher depends on the lower for the breath of life.
(Rudolf Steiner, GA0055) ";
quotes[1282]="Heaven is where the police are British, the cooks are French,

(Vic Pecka & Paige Scott) ";
quotes[1283]="Let us then suppose the mind to be, as we say, white paper,
void of all characters, without ideas; how comes it to be furnished?
To this I answer, in one word, from Experience. In that, all our
Knowledge is founded; and from that it ultimately derives itself.
(William Blake, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, 1690) ";
quotes[1284]="For the real question is whether the 'brighter future'
is really always so distant. What if, on the contrary,
it has been here for a long time already, and only our
blindness and weakness has prevented us from seeing it
around us and within us, and kept us from developing it?
(Vaclav Havel, The Power of the Powerless) ";
quotes[1285]="I believe that the first test of a truly great man is his humility.
I don't mean by humility, doubt of his power. But really great men
have a curious feeling that the greatness is not of them, but through them.
And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly,
foolishly, incredibly merciful. (John Ruskin) ";
quotes[1286]="My heart rouses thinking to bring you news
of something that concerns you and concerns many men.
Look at what passes for the new.
You will not find it there but in despised poems.
It is difficult to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack of what is found there.
(William Carlos Williams) ";
quotes[1287]="We keep subdividing the planet and the animals don't know
where to go anymore. This world is not just made for us,
it is made for thousands of other species.
We want to make sure humanity is healthy,
but it is also special to be able to look into
the state of other animals and... to develop our compassion.
(Peter Max) ";
quotes[1288]="The senate being met at Rome, among many others that spoke against the Fabii,
the priests called fecials were the most decided, who, on the religious grounds,
urged the senate that they should lay the whole guilt and penalty of the fact
upon him that committed it, and so exonerate the rest.
(Plutarch's Camillus, [445-365 BC]) ";
quotes[1289]="Often people attempt to live their lives backwards:
they try to have more things, or more money, in order to
do more of what they want so that they will be happier.
The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be
who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order
to have what you want. (Margaret Young) ";
quotes[1290]="Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover
will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise,
the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist,
the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint,
the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain.
(Leo Buscaglia) ";
quotes[1291]="A leader is best when people barely know that he exists,
not so good when people obey and acclaim him,
worst when they despise him.
'Fail to honour people, They fail to honour you.'
But of a good leader, who talks little,
When his work is done, his aim fulfilled,
They will all say, 'We did this ourselves.'
(Lao Zi) ";
quotes[1292]="The rose I cut off from the shrub is no reality. It cannot be by itself.
It can only come to existence by virtue of its connection with the
whole rose-bush. If I think of it as a mere rose by itself, it is
in truth an abstraction. I must go on to the totality - to the
whole rose-bush at the very least. (Steiner, Light Course-8) ";
quotes[1293]="It seems to me probable that anyone who has a series of intolerable positions
to put up with must have been responsible for them in some extent; not that it
was simply 'their fault' - I don't mean that - but that they have contributed
to it by impatience, or intolerance, or brusqueness - or some provocation.
(Robert Hugh Benson) ";
quotes[1294]="We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is
in it---and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid.
She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again---and that is well;
but also she will never sit on a cold one anymore.
(Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens), 1835-1910) ";
quotes[1295]="Comforts that were rare among our forefathers are now multiplied
in factories and handed out wholesale; and indeed, nobody nowadays,
so long as he is content to go without air, space, quiet, decency
and good manners, need be without anything whatever that he wants;
or at least a reasonably cheap imitation of it. (G. K. Chesterton) ";
quotes[1296]="Keep these concepts in mind: You've failed many times,
although you don't remember. You fell down the first time
you tried to walk. You almost drowned the first time you
tried to swim. Don't worry about failure. My suggestion
to each of you: Worry about the chances you miss when
you don't even try. (Sherman Finesilver, American judge) ";
quotes[1297]="So then finally, what is the last piece of technology that [Steve Jobs]

quotes[1298]="A wee child toddling in a wonder world,
I prefer to their dogma my excursions into the natural gardens
where the voice of the Great Spirit is heard in the twittering of birds,
the rippling of mighty waters, and the sweet breathing of flowers.
If this is Paganism, then at present, at least, I am a Pagan.
(Zitkala-Sa, North American Indian) ";
quotes[1299]="Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me,
because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know.
We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are
some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns --
the ones we don't know we don't know. (Donald Rumsfeld) ";
quotes[1300]="To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances
for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting
different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical
and chromatic aberration could have been formed by natural selection,
seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.
(Charles Darwin, Origin of the Species) ";
quotes[1301]="As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise
that it wasn't as easy to get programs right as we had thought.
Debugging had to be discovered. I can remember the exact instant
when I realized that a large part of my life from then on was
going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs.
(Maurice Wilkes discovers debugging, 1949) ";
quotes[1302]="The world is supposed to be full of possibilities, but they narrow down
to pretty few in most personal experience. There's lots of good fish in
the sea... maybe... but the vast masses seem to be mackerel or herring,
and if you're not mackerel or herring yourself, you are likely to find
few good fish in the sea. (D.H. Lawrence, 'Lady Chatterley's Lover) ";
quotes[1303]="If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts,
he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is
overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it.
If, on the other hand, he is offered something which
affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts,
he will accept it even on the slightest evidence.
(Bertrand Russell) ";
quotes[1304]="I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
(Frank Herbert, Dune, 'Litany Against Fear', 1965) ";
quotes[1305]="It is not good, O Keshav! nought of good
can spring from mutual slaughter! Lo, I hate
triumph and domination, wealth and ease,
Thus sadly won! Aho! what victory
can bring delight, Govinda! what rich spoils
could profit; what rule recompense; what span
of life itself seem sweet, bought with such blood?
(The Distress of Arjuna, The Bhagavad Gite) ";
quotes[1306]="The physicist Schrodinger said of general principles that the creative
vigour of a general principle depends precisely on its generality.
And that is exactly what I mean when I talk about structure in architecture.
It is not a special solution. It is a general idea. And although each building
is a single solution, it is not motivated as such. (Mies van der Rohe) ";
quotes[1307]="If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once
with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found

I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory
and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labour.
(Nikola Tesla, New York Times, October 19, 1931) ";
quotes[1308]="It is said an eastern monarch once charged his wise men
to invent a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true

How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride!
How consoling in the depths of affliction! (Abraham Lincoln) ";
quotes[1309]="But a man may then imagine in your work what he pleases, what you never meant!
Not what he pleases, but what he can. If he be not a true man, he will
draw evil out of the best; we need not mind how he treats any work of art!
If he be a true man, he will imagine true things; what matter whether
I meant them or not? (George MacDonald, The Fantastic Imagination) ";
quotes[1310]="Conversation. What is it? A Mystery!
It's the art of never seeming bored,
of touching everything with interest,

of hitting them back and forth, this sort of
brief smile of ideas which should be conversation?

(why do we get headaches so often?), sit quietly
with hands folded and wait for the wall to crumble.
If you're willing to wait an eternity, it may happen
in the twinkling of an eye. For walls often give way
quicker than the proud spirit which rules us.

They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to
collect sometime in the next decade.' (Bill Gates, Chineese News, 1998) ";
quotes[1315]="The well-being of a community of people working together will be the greater,
the less the individual claims for himself the proceeds of his work,
i.e. the more of these proceeds he makes over to his fellow-workers,
the more his own needs are satisfied, not out of his own work
but out of the work done by others.
(The Fundamental Social Law, Rudolf Steiner, 1905) ";
quotes[1316]="The good are attracted by men's perceptions
And think not for themselves;
Til Experience teaches them to catch
And to cage fairies and elves.
And then the knave begins to snarl,
And the hypocrite to howl;
And all his good friends shew their private ends,
And the eagle is known from the owl.

quotes[1317]="Take some more tea, the March Hare said to Alice,
very earnestly. I've had nothing yet, Alice replied
in an offended tone, so I can't take more.

it's very easy to take MORE than nothing.
Nobody asked YOUR opinion, said Alice.
Who's making personal remarks now?
the Hatter asked triumphantly.

quotes[1318]="In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security.
They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all - security,
comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give
to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they
wished for most was freedom from responsibility then Athens ceased
to be free and was never free again. (Edward Gibbon) ";
quotes[1319]="The will is not set upon a surplus of pleasure,
but upon the amount of pleasure that remains
after getting over the pain. This is the essence

to pursue it so long as the displeasure connected
with it does not extinguish the desire altogether.

quotes[1320]="Would you convey my compliments to the purist who reads
your proofs and tell him or her that I write in a sort of
broken-down patois which is something like the way a Swiss

I split it so that it will stay split.

editor of the Atlantic Monthly, 18 January 1947) ";
quotes[1321]="The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air-conditioning systems
cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle
of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them.
The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization
perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his
primitive night. (Jean Baudrillard) ";
quotes[1322]="Dance with all the might of your body, and all the fire of your soul,

anything out of your brains.

quotes[1324]="The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths
offered by the present, but a place that is created - created
first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future
is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating.
The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity
of making them, changes both the maker and the destination.

quotes[1326]="An hour with a mango will convince you that it has
significant
low frequency colour variation, lots of tiny dark

quotes[1327]="Look, Dave, I can see you're really upset about this.
I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly,
take a stress pill, and think things over.
I know I've made some very poor decisions recently,

will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest
enthusiasm and confidence in the mission and I want
to help you. (Hal 9000) ";
quotes[1328]="Well, if Sven dreamed tonight that his dog died, he'd have
a very, very bad night's sleep, because he's very fond of that dog.
But when he woke up in the morning, everything would be all right.
He'd know it was only a dream.
The point is if his dog really died, it would be exactly the same thing.
Only, he wouldn't know it until he died himself.

quotes[1329]="Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell
you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask,
Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not? But that would, of
course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being
entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.

quotes[1330]="Many people, other than the authors, contribute to the making
of a book, from the first person who had the bright idea of
alphabetic writing, through the inventor of movable type,
to the lumberjacks who felled the trees that were pulped for
its printing. It is not customary to acknowledge the trees
themselves, though their commitment is total.
(Forsyth and Rada, 'Machine Learning') ";
quotes[1331]="Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just,
then they will not care how devout you have been,
but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.
If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.
If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived
a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.
(Marcus Aurelius) ";
quotes[1332]="The question is not whether the pleasure to be gained is greater than the pain,
but whether the desire for the goal is greater than the hindering effect of the
pain involved... for the will is not set upon a surplus of pleasure, but upon the
amount of pleasure that remains after getting over the pain. This still appears
as a goal worth striving for. (Rudolf Steiner, The Philosophy of Freedom) ";
quotes[1333]="We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through
the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may
have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can
be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose
one's attitude in any given set of circumstances - To choose one's own way.

quotes[1335]="It seems to me that dominant cinema seems to require an empathy or a
sympathy between the film and the audience which is basically to do
with the manipulation of the emotions and it seems to me again -- and
this is a very subjective position -- that most cinema seems to
trivialise the emotions, sentimentalising or romanticising them.
(Peter Greenaway, from an interview in 'Art and Design', #49) ";
quotes[1336]="A computer is a device that can be used to magnify human productivity.
Properly used, it does not dehumanize by imposing its own Orwellian stamp
on the products of the human spirit and the dignity of human labour but,
by taking over what is mechanical and routine, it frees human beings
for what is essentially human.
(Martin Kay, 'The Place of Men and Machines in Language Translation', 1997) ";
quotes[1337]="A genuine work of art must mean many things; the truer its art, the
more things it will mean. If my drawing, on the other hand, is so far
from being a work of art that it needs THIS IS A HORSE written under it,
what can it matter that neither you nor your child should know what it means?
It is there not so much to convey a meaning as to wake a meaning.
(George MacDonald, The Fantastic Imagination) ";
quotes[1338]="A man [complains about] how indignant he is with countless human beings.
He describes minutely how this or that in A, in B, in C, and so on, angers him.
He has not an inkling that he is simply talking about his own characteristics.
This peculiarity in human beings was never so widespread as it is today.
And those who believe they are free of it, are the greatest culprits.
(Rudolf Steiner, Berne, 1919) ";
quotes[1339]="In the shoreless ocean of space radiates the central, spiritual,
and invisible sun. The universe is his [her] body, spirit, and soul;
and after this ideal model are framed all things... the holy of the aged,

a form when he called the universe into existence, says the sohar,
the book of splendour. (H.P. Blavatsky, Isis I, 302) ";
quotes[1340]="I can always spot a programmer who has only worked on one architecture.
He or she looks on the basic data types of that machine as God-given.
The same goes for how the system names files, how it represents lines
of text, and dozens of other arbitrary design decisions. There is a
level of abstract thinking that comes only from writing code that is
intended to be portable across architectures. (P.J. Plauger) ";
quotes[1341]="Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve
the problems of the human race. (Calvin Coolidge) ";
quotes[1342]="For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed,
revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
(Audrey Hepburn) ";
quotes[1343]="People who study history nowadays generally project what they are
accustomed to see in the present time, back into the historic past,
and they have little idea how altogether different men were in mind
and spirit before the present epoch. Even when they let the old documents
speak for themselves, they largely read into them the way of thought
and outlook of the present. (Steiner, Karmic Relationships Vol3, Dornach, 1924) ";
quotes[1344]="Simple Living suggests that the good life
is not to be found in an endless stream
of material possessions, social states, or high incomes;
the good life arises out of careful and caring involvement
with people, places, and the planet. By taking care
of what we have, living within limits,
and sharing our stuff with others,
we can live a life of integrity.
(Fiona Heath, Simplicity Circle Guide for Waterloo) ";
quotes[1345]="The history of art is simply a history of getting rid of
the ugly by entering into it, and using it.
After all, the notion of something outside of us
being ugly is not outside of us but inside of us.
That's why I keep reiterating that we're working with
our minds. What we're trying to do is to get them open
so that we don't see things as being ugly,
or beautiful, but we see them just as they are.
(John Cage) ";
quotes[1346]="While we are undoubtedly in an information age, most information
is delivered to us in the form of atoms: newspapers, magazines and books.
This will change as cheap and easy to distribute bits begin to edge out atoms,
and when the much ballyhooed information superhighway (which is, after all,
nothing more than a bit chute) arrives at your door. And when that happens,
whole industries will be in upheaval. (Nicholas Negroponte) ";
quotes[1347]="All things in the world are two.
In our minds we are two, good and evil.
With our eyes we see two things,
things that are fair and things that are ugly...
We have the right hand that strikes and makes for evil,
and we have the left hand full of kindness, near the heart.
One foot may lead us to an evil way,
the other foot may lead us to a good.
So are all things two, all two.

quotes[1348]="People 'died' all the time.... Parts of them died when they made the
wrong kinds of decisions - decisions against life. Sometimes they
died bit by bit until finally they were just living corpses walking around.
If you were perceptive you could see it in their eyes; the fire had gone out...
you always knew when you made a decision against life...
The door clicked and you were safe inside - safe and dead.
(Anne Morrow Lindbergh) ";
quotes[1349]="I can't stop fooling around with our irrefutable certainties.
It is, for example, a pleasure knowingly to mix up two- and three-
dimensionalities... to make fun of gravity... Are you really sure
that a floor can't also be a ceiling? Are you definitely convinced
that you will be on a higher plane when you walk up a staircase?
Is it a fact as far as you are concerned that half an egg isn't also
half an empty shell? (M.C. Escher) ";
quotes[1350]="The paradox of our time in history is that we have
taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider
freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,
but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have
bigger houses and smaller families, more
conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees
but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment,
more experts, yet more problems, more medicine,
but less wellness. (George Carlin) ";
quotes[1351]="There is some good and some bad in everyone on the planet - that fact
is just part of the human condition - so don't fool yourself into thinking
that people are either totally righteous or totally evil because that
is too simplistic by far. Keep in mind that people tend to conform to
the labels that we give them, so if you must make a value judgment,
focus on the good side of people.

quotes[1352]="Listen: there was once a king sitting on his throne.
Around him stood great and wonderfully beautiful columns ornamented

anything in itself but because the air bore it along. This am I...

quotes[1354]="To be a Guardian (of the great spiritual work) signifies two things:
The study of and practical application of the heritage of the past,

quotes[1355]="There is one, and only one, proportional division which is possible with two terms.
This occurs when the smaller term is to the larger term in the same way as the
larger term is to the smaller plus the larger. It is written a:b::b:(a+b).
The largest term (a+b) must be a wholeness or unit composed of the sum of
the other two terms. Historically this unique geometric proportion of two
terms has been given the name 'Golden Proportion'. (Robert Lawlor) ";
quotes[1356]="But tell me, who are they, these wanderers,
even more transient than we ourselves,
who from their earliest days are savagely wrung out
by a never-satisfied will (for -whose- sake)?
Yet it wrings them, swings them and flings them
and catches them again; and falling as if through
oiled slippery air, they land on the threadbare carpet,
worn constantly thinner by their perpetual leaping...

quotes[1357]="Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the
talking-machine, and the automobile, for these things had to be
dreamed of before they became realities. So I believe that dreams -

quotes[1358]="All of you sitting here... are invisible to physical senses.
But a certain number of shapes with a certain capacity to attract

something invisible visible. (Steiner, Dornach, November 1919) ";
quotes[1359]="Let Nature be your Teacher.
She has a world of ready wealth,
Our minds and hearts to bless--
Spontaneous wisdom breathed by health,
Truth breathed by cheerfulness.
One impulse from a vernal wood

Of moral evil and good,
Than all the sages can.
Sweet is the lore which Nature brings;
Our meddling intellect
Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things:--

(William Wordsworth, 'Tables Turned') ";
quotes[1360]="Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired
signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are
not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms
is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers,
the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not
a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it
is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. (Dwight D. Eisenhower) ";
quotes[1361]="I suppose on another level, I'm often irritated that, basically,
certainly should we say Hollywood orthodox cinema deals in nudity
primarily from the point of the view of the female body and she has to
be aged between 16 and 30. What happens to the rest of us? What happens
to the whole mass of man/female, masculine/feminine kind who do not
get represented in this context? We ought to be there along with
everybody else. (Peter Greenaway, from an interview on indieWIRE.com) ";
quotes[1362]="Vice may be changed into virtue by changing its aim.
Passion is blind, it goes where it is led, and reason
is a safer guide for it than the instinct... We cannot
destroy or annihilate a passion. If it is driven away,
another elemental influence will take its place.
We should therefore not attempt to destroy the low without
putting something in its place, but we should displace
the low by the high; vice by virtue, and superstition
by knowledge. (Madamme Blavatsky) ";
quotes[1363]="Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes
filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing
the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed,
people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry
and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what
happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore
the banks for the river. (Will Durant, Life Magazine, October 1963) ";
quotes[1364]="It would be regarded as quite out of the question
to study the movements of a magnet-needle on the
Earth's surface in such a way as to try to explain
these movements solely out of what can be observed
within the space occupied by the needle... it is
equally and fundamentally impossible to explain
the phenomena relating to the organism from
out of the organism itself, or from connections
which do not belong to a totality, to a whole.
(Rudolf Steiner, Jan10-1921) ";
quotes[1365]="Passive acceptance of the teacher's wisdom is easy to most boys and girls.
It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because
the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win
the favour of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man.
Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life.
It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a
leader whoever is established in that position. (Bertrand Russell) ";
quotes[1366]="Anyone who reflects on the fact that the human being can be ill,
will find himself involved in a paradox which he cannot avoid
if he wishes to think purely on the lines of natural science,
he will have to assume to begin with that this paradox lies in
the very nature of existence. For, considered superficially,
whatever takes place in the course of the illness is a natural process.
What takes place in the healthy state is also a natural process.

quotes[1367]="Troi: When dealing with two factions so diametrically opposed,
so entrenched in their positions, where do you start?
Riva: There is no trick. My technique was to look for
some -thing- no matter how small, that was common to both groups;

and to understand. (Loud as a Whisper, Star Trek TNG-42477.2) ";
quotes[1368]="To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel change, grow or live.
Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.
Only a person who risks is free. The pessimist complains about the wind;

quotes[1369]="Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken.
If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it
to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies
and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up save
in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that
casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change.
It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable,
impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.

quotes[1370]="How slowly one advances in a boat that does not float
along with the stream in a specific direction!
How much easier it is when one can connect with
the work of great predecessors whose value is
not doubted by anyone. A personal experiment,
a construction whose foundations one must dig
himself and whose walls one must erect himself,

But perhaps one prefers to live there rather
than in a palace that has been built by others.

quotes[1371]="A computer is like a violin. You can imagine a novice trying
first a phonograph and then a violin. The latter, he says,
sounds terrible. That is the argument we have heard from

Computer programs are good, they say, for particular purposes,
but they aren't flexible. Neither is a violin, or a typewriter,
until you learn how to use it.

quotes[1372]="In other respects I am very well off here.
Solitude in this terrestrial paradise is a genial balm to my mind,
and the young spring cheers with its bounteous promises my oftentimes
misgiving heart. Every tree, every bush, is full of flowers;

Sometimes, it is true, there is an escape from this treadmill.
Archimedes used mathematics to kill Romans, Galileo to improve

quotes[1375]="Attention consists of suspending our thought,
leaving it detached, empty and ready to be penetrated by the object.
It means holding in our minds, within reach of this thought,
but on a lower level and not in contact with it,
the diverse knowledge we have acquired which we are forced to make use of.
Above all our thought should be empty, waiting, not seeking anything,
but ready to receive in its naked truth the object which is to penetrate it.
Absolute unmixed attention is prayer. (Simone Weil, 'Gravity and Grace', 1952) ";
quotes[1376]="What people are contemplating on their word-processor screens
is the operation of their own brains. It is not entrails that
we try to interpret these days, nor even hearts or facial
expressions; it is, quite simply, the brain. We want to expose
to view its billions of connections and watch it operating like
a video game... All that fascinates us is the spectacle of the
brain and its workings. What we are wanting here is to see our
thoughts unfolding before us - and this itself is a superstition.

quotes[1377]="It looks as if America has begun to secrete a new type of American,
a new and un-American being.... The young Americans who bum around Europe

strange homelessness in their eyes which shows that here is

quotes[1379]="But it is important to realize we are all trapped in mental constructs,
and so we separate ourselves from reality; the whole world loses its
aliveness- or, rather, we lose our ability to sense that aliveness,
the sacredness of nature. When we approach nature through the
conceptualizing mind, we see a forest as a commodity, a concept.
We no longer see it for what it truly is, but for what we want
to use it as. It is reduced. This is how it becomes possible for
humans to destroy the planet without realizing what they are doing.

I had a dream of a maze. There were some people very close to the centre,
but they could not Þnd a way through. They had taken a wrong turn
at the very beginning and would have to return to the start
if they were to make any further progress.
Just outside the maze others were standing.
They were further away from the heart of the maze,
but they would be there sooner than the party
that fretted and fumed inside.
(Robert Runcie, Archibishop of Canterbury, At his Initiation 1980) ";
quotes[1382]="A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe,' a part limited
in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something
separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves
from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
(Albert Einstein, 'What I Believe', 1930) ";
quotes[1383]="Confusing truth with fact, people often read mythology
without realizing that it speaks about their deepest feelings
and situations. They look at art and think it is mere
representation or self-expression. They don't realize
that a good painting is a window onto the land beyond Lethe.
They hear the teachings and stories of religion and take them
as history, missing out on the deeper truth conveyed
in the charm of language. By trying to avoid illusion,
we make our truths flat, cold, and soulless.
(Thomas Moore, Parabola Winter 2003 'Truth & Illusion') ";
quotes[1384]="Need I mention the starting, planting, and growth of vines?
I can never have too much of this pleasure - to let you into
the secret of what gives my old age repose and amusement.
For I say nothing here of the natural force which all things
propagated from the earth possess - the earth which from
that tiny grain in a fig, or the grapestone in a grape,
or the most minute seeds of the other cereals and plants,
produces such huge trunks and boughs. Mallet shoots, slips,
cuttings, quicksets, layers - are they not enough to fill
any one with delight and astonishment? (Cicero) ";
quotes[1385]="The song 'Let It Happen' is an affirmation based on the
belief or knowledge that there's an intelligence behind the
whole universe that is working at all times through us even
though we might not often - or in some cases ever - perceive it.
Nevertheless there is something for our highest good that
wants or needs to happen in all situations at all times
and to say 'whatever needs to happen, let it happen' is
saying: I allow the highest good to happen through me.
And keeping that belief and focus in the midst of madness
and chaos is what the song's about. (Mike Scott, Waterboys) ";
quotes[1386]="Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has
its own character, its own weakness and its own strength,
its beauties and ugliness; accepts certain sufferings
as matter of course, puts up patiently with certain evils.
Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only
when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap...
Now there are times when a whole generation is caught
in this way between two ages, two modes of life, with
the consequence that it loses all power to understand
itself and has no standard, no security, no simple
acquiescence. (Herman Hesse, Steppenwolf) ";
quotes[1387]="It is our great fortune sometimes to misinterpret our destiny
when it is revealed to us. We often accomplish our ends despite ourselves.
We try to avoid the swamps and jungles, we seek frantically to escape
the wilderness or the desert (one and the same), we attach ourselves
to leaders, we worship the gods instead of the One and Only,
we lose ourselves in the labyrinth, we fly to distant shores
and speak with other tongues, adopt other customs, manners,
conventions, but ever and always are we driven towards our true end,
concealed from us till the last moment.
(Henry Miller, The Books in my Life) ";
quotes[1388]="I am a design chauvinist. I believe that good design is magical
and not to be lightly tinkered with. The difference between a
great design and a lousy one is in the meshing of the thousand
details that either fit or don't, and the spirit of the passionate
intellect that has tied them together, or tried. That's why
programming -- or buying software -- on the basis of 'lists of
features' is a doomed and misguided effort. The features can
be thrown together, as in a garbage can, or carefully laid
together and interwoven in elegant unification, as in APL,
or the Forth language, or the game of chess. (Ted Nelson) ";
quotes[1389]="All the performances of human art, at which we look with praise or
wonder, are instances of the resistless force of perseverance; it is
by this that the quarry becomes a pyramid, and that distant countries
are united with canals. If a man was to compare the single stroke of
the pickaxe, or of one impression of the spade, with the general
design and the last result, he would be overwhelmed by the sense of
their disproportion; yet those petty operations, incessantly continued,
in time surmount the greatest difficulties, and mountains are levelled
and oceans bounded by the slender force of human beings. (Samuel Johnson) ";
quotes[1390]="My subject is beginning to oppress my mind as a nightmare does the body.
My head is full of ideas, of which the order is not yet clear to me,
and which I must consider singly. I should like to run, but I can only
drag myself slowly along. You know that I never take up my pen to support
a system, or to draw, whether wrongly or rightly, certain conclusions.
I give myself up to the natural flow of my ideas, allowing myself
in good faith to be led from one consequence to another.
Therefore, till my work is finished, I never know exactly
what result I shall reach, or if I shall arrive at any.
(Alexis De Tocqueville, letter to J.S. Mill, Nov 10, 1836) ";
quotes[1391]="If I found a job, a project, an idea or a person
I wanted - I'd have to depend on the whole world.
Everything has strings leading to everything else.
We're all so tied together. We're all in a net,
the net is waiting, and we're pushed into it by
one single desire. You want a thing and it's precious
to you. Do you know who is standing ready to tear
it out of your hands? You can't know, it may be so
involved and so far away, but someone is ready,
and you're afraid of them all. And you cringe and
you crawl and you beg and you accept them - just
so they'll let you keep it. And look at whom you
come to accept. (Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead) ";
quotes[1392]="I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of 'Admin'.
The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid 'dens of crime'
that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps
and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived
and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted); in clean, carpeted,
warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and
cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise
their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something
like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly
nasty business concern. (C. S. Lewis, 1898 - 1963) ";
quotes[1393]="A non-violent man or woman will and should die without retaliation,
anger or malice, in self-defense or in defending the honour of their
womenfolk. This is the highest form of bravery. If an individual or
group of people are unable or unwilling to follow this great law of life,
retaliation or resistance unto death is the second best, though a long
way off from the first. Cowardice is impotence worse than violence.
The coward desires revenge but being afraid to die, he looks to others,
maybe to the government of the day, to do the work of defense for him.
A coward is less than a man. He does not deserve to be a member of a
society of men and women. (Mahatma Gandhi) ";
quotes[1394]="We are the first generation bombarded with so many stories
from so many 'authorities', none of which are our own.
The parable of the postmodern mind is the person surrounded
by a media centre: three television screens in front of them
giving three sets of stories; fax machines bringing in other stories;
newspapers providing still more stories. In a sense, we are saturated
with stories; we're saturated with points of view. But the effect
of being bombarded with all of these points of view is that
we don't have a point of view and we don't have a story.
We lose the continuity of our experiences;
we become people who are written on from the outside.
(Sam Keen) ";
quotes[1395]="The multiple threats to the Earth are so complex
that in most cases they seem beyond the reach of an
average citizens influence. Yet we can all launch a
personal campaign to reduce consumption - though perhaps
only after a change of mind-set, to overcome the fear of
seeming poor, parsimonious or eccentric.
This does not mean being deprived or uncomfortable.
It simply means stopping to think, before each purchase,
'Do I really need this?' For years a small minority has been living
and thinking thus. If a large majority did lilkewise -
if frugality and shabbiness could become trendy -
then the Earth, though not saved, would be measurably
less endangered. (Dervla Murphy, Irish Author) ";
quotes[1396]="If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive
property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an
individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but
the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one,
and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it.
Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because
every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me,
receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his
taper at mine, receives light without darkening me... Inventions then
cannot, in nature, be a subject of property. (Thomas Jefferson) ";
quotes[1397]="It's really easier than you think - it's all about
dilution of responsibility. During the Vietnam War
someone noted that while in theory nobody would accept
burning children alive, some children are being burnt alive
due to decisions made in a long chain of command where
everyone is responsible for just a tiny bit of the whole
process - from workers in plant making napalm bombs,
to the pilot who is 'just following orders', to
Robert McNamara, who deals just with abstract figures,
maps, tables etc. So you would be just the guy who
draws an arrow on the map. Or the guy who is just
pressing the button. In your own conscience,
you would feel 100 percent innocent.
(Trurl's Machine, Slashdot 651488, June 20, 2005) ";
quotes[1398]="Thus you can throw yourself flat on the ground,
stretched out upon Mother Earth, with the certain
conviction that you are one with her and she with you.
You are as firmly established, as invulnerable as she,
indeed a thousand times firmer and more invulnerable.
As surely as she will engulf you tomorrow, so surely
will she bring you forth anew to new striving and suffering.
And not merely 'some day': now, today, every day she is
bringing you forth, not *once* but thousands of times upon
thousands of times, just as every day she engulfs you a
thousand times over. For eternally and always
there is only *now*, one and the same now; the present
is the only thing that has no end.
(Edwin Schrodinger, My View of the World, 1964) ";
quotes[1399]="Two Presuppositions of the Evolutionists: I call them presuppositions
now, rather than theories or speculations, partly because they are rarely,
if ever, systematically argued and partly because they have been taken for
granted by so many for so long that they have gone down into the unconscious
and become implicit in the meanings of all sorts of words we habitually
employ to think with...
The first of the two presuppositions is that 'inwardness,'
subjectivity of any sort, is not merely associated with,
but is always the product of a stimulated organism.
The second, arising out of it, is the presupposition that
in the history of the universe the presence of what is called
'matter' preceded the presence of what is called 'mind.'
(Owen Barfield) ";
quotes[1400]="What greater stupidity can be imagined than that of calling jewels,
silver, and gold 'precious,' and earth and soil 'base'? People who do
this ought to remember that if there were as great a scarcity of soil
as of jewels or precious metals, there would not be a prince who
would not spend a bushel of diamonds and rubies and a cartload of
gold just to have enough earth to plant a jasmine in a little pot,
or to sow an orange seed and watch it sprout, grow, and produce
its handsome leaves, its fragrant flowers, and fine fruit.
It is scarcity and plenty that make the vulgar take things
to be precious or worthless; they call a diamond very beautiful
because it is like pure water, and then would not exchange one
for ten barrels of water. (Galileo Galilei, 1564-1642) ";
quotes[1401]="One afternoon, which is ever present in my recollection,
I was enjoying a walk with my friend in the city park and
reciting poetry. At that age I knew entire books by heart,
word for word. One of these was Goethe's Faust. The sun
was just setting and reminded me of a glorious passage:
The glow retreats, done is the day of toil;
It yonder hastes, new fields of life exploring;
Ah, that no wing can lift me from the soil
Upon its track to follow, follow soaring!
As I uttered these inspiring words the idea came like
a flash of lightning and in an instant the truth was revealed.
I drew with a stick on the sand the diagram shown six years
later in my address before the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers. (Tesla, on the Invention of the Induction Motor) ";
quotes[1402]="My contention that we must think before we can examine thinking
might easily be countered by the apparently equally valid contention
that we cannot wait with digesting until we have first observed
the process of digestion. This objection would be similar to that
brought by Pascal against Descartes, when he asserted that we might
also say, 'I walk, therefore I am.' Certainly I must go straight
ahead with digesting and not wait until I have studied the physiological
process of digestion. But I could only compare this with the study
of thinking if, after digestion, I set myself not to study it by thinking,
but to eat and digest it. It is after all not without reason that,
whereas digestion cannot become the object of digestion,
thinking can very well become the object of thinking.
(Rudolf Steiner, PoF3) ";
quotes[1403]="It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face
is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort
without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed;
who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself
in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while
daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
(Theodore Roosevelt, 1858 - 1919, 'Man in the Arena', April 23, 1910) ";
quotes[1404]="The way to the heart is through the head, Love is no exception,
Whenever it is not merely the expression of bare sexual instinct,
it depends on the mental picture we form of the loved one.
And the more idealistic these mental pictures are, just so much
the more blessed is our love. Here too, thought is the father
of feeling. It is said that love makes us blind to the failings
of the loved one. But this can be expressed the other way round,
namely, that it is just for the good qualities that love opens
the eyes. Many pass by these good qualities without noticing them.
One, however, perceives them, and just because he does,
love awakens in his soul. What else has he done but made
a mental picture of what hundreds have failed to see?
Love is not theirs, because they lack the mental picture.
(Rudolf Steiner, The Philosophy of Freedom) ";
quotes[1405]="When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
for that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence,
as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of spirit.
for love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery
is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.
...and let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need,
but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship let
there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of
little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
(Kahlil Gibran, from 'The Prophet') ";
quotes[1406]="Colours first appear at the edges between Light and Dark.
The continuous spectrum with green in the middle arises only where
the (blue-cyan and yellow-red) edges come close enough to overlap.
When light shines through a prism, we are simply projecting a picture
whose aperature has edges. There is darkness outside this circular patch,
while it is relatively light within it -- and this is where the Colours
first occur -- where the Light adjoins Dark.
We no longer see the original phenomenon when we make so small a circle
that the colours extend inward from the edges to overlap in the middle
to form what is called a 'continuous spectrum'; while with the larger
circle the colours formed at the edges stay as they are. Thus, this
is the primal phenomenon -- that Colours arise at the borders,
where Light and Dark flow together. (From: Goethe's Colour Theory) ";
quotes[1407]="The social position of women is for the most part such an unworthy one
because in so many respects it is determined not as it should be by the
particular characteristics of the individual woman, but by the general
picture one has of woman's natural tasks and needs. A man's activity
in life is governed by his individual capacities and inclinations,
whereas a woman's is supposed to be determined solely by the mere fact
that she is a woman. She is supposed to be a slave to what is generic,
to womanhood in general. As long as men continue to debate whether a
woman is suited to this or that profession 'according to her natural
disposition,' the so-called woman's question cannot advance beyond
its most elementary stage. What a woman, within her natural limitations,
wants to become had better be left to the woman herself to decide.
(Rudolf Steiner, The Philosophy of Freedom, 1895) ";
quotes[1408]="Hurricanes destroy more than just property; they destroy
the sense of property, as well. They smash that universal belief
that objects intrinsically carry some emotional gravity or weight.
Acts of destruction remind us that physical substances are only equal
to the exact sum of their parts: Plastic and cotton, metal or wood.
What's left over is a painful buoyancy, an unbearable absence of feeling;
you mourn not just your lost PS2 games or your Xbox controllers but also
the fact that these once precious things have been proven completely
meaningless. Even if they do remain intact after the storm...
the only entity that really survives is you. Thus, life is distilled
into your relationships with ideas, not objects; family, friendship,
emotions and memories. These abstracts are what remain significant.
Everything else is washed away. (Lara Crigger, Escaping Katrina, Nov.2005) ";
quotes[1409]="Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob
on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can
get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece.
Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia
nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany.
That is understood. But, after all, it is the Leaders of the country
who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag
the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship
or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding
of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them
they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for
lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same way in any country.
(Hermann Goering, founder of the Nazi Gestapo, at the Nuremberg trails) ";
quotes[1410]="I suppose that the two forms in which the existence of the unconsious
mind is most vividly brought to our notice are: i) the uprushes of memory
from a region outside one's present consciousness, which in part we can
and in part we cannot control. Thus, if I struggle to remember a name
and fail to do so, I am powerless. But when I have ceased to struggle,
it often presents itself unexpectedly after a time, as from a hidden
field of memory. ii) When I have struggled with some intellectual problem
and brought my mind to a state where the solution seems to be appearing
and yet disappears in confusion, if I can get a night's rest, the chances
are that the tangle disappears in a measure, and order appears with
the morning. IN SUCH WAYS WE BECOME CONSCIOUS THAT OUR MIND IS LARGER
THAN OUR FIELD OF CONSCIOUSNESS. But there is no tendency in these
normal experiences for the subliminal mind to appear as a
co-consciousness or another person.
(Bishop Charles Gore, Belief in God, 1921) ";
quotes[1411]="We don't have good language to talk about Design. In most
people's vocabularies, design means veneer. It's interior
decorating. It's the fabric of the curtains and the sofa.
But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design.
Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up
expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.
The iMac is not just the colour or translucence or the shape of the shell.
The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer
in which each element plays together.
On our latest iMac, I was adamant that we get rid of the fan, because
it is much more pleasant to work on a computer that doesn't drone all
the time. That was not just 'Steve's decision' to pull out the fan;
it required an enormous engineering effort to figure out how to manage
power better and do a better job of thermal conduction through the machine.
That is the furthest thing from veneer. It was at the core of the product

what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.

quotes[1413]="Verily all things move within your being in constant half embrace,
the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished,
the pursued and that which you would escape.
These things move within you as lights and shadows in pairs that cling.

becomes a shadow to another light.

I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humour, hurt or heal.
In all situations it is my response that decides whether a crisis
is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized.
If we treat people as they are, we make them worse.
If we treat people as they might be,
we help them become what they are capable of becoming.
(J.W. von Goethe) ";
quotes[1455]="It is well to observe the force and virtue and consequences of discoveries;
and these are to be seen nowhere more conspicuously than in those three which
were unknown to the ancients...; namely, printing, gunpowder, and the magnet.
For these three have changed the whole face and state of things throughout
the world; the first in literature, the second in warfare, the third in
navigation; whence have followed innumerable changes; insomuch that
no empire, no sect, no star seems to have exerted greater influence
in human affairs than these mechanical discoveries.
(Francis Bacon, Novum organum, 1620) ";
quotes[1456]="He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would
fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once.
Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that
goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable
and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so
base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war
is nothing but an act of murder. (Albert Einstein) ";
quotes[1457]="The point is in practice a small stain of colour put by the artist on the canvas.
So the point used by the painter is not a geometric point, it is not a mathematical
abstraction, it possesses a certain extension, a form and a colour. This form can
be a square, a triangle, a circle, like a star or even more complex. The point
is the most concise form, but according to its placement on the basic plane it
will take a different tonality. It can be alone and isolated or put in resonance
with other points or lines. (Wassily Kandinsky) ";
quotes[1458]="This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything immeasurably small or great in your life must return to you-all in the same succession and sequence-even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned over and over, and you with it, a grain of dust. (Nietzsche) ";
quotes[1459]="'I cannot help laughing at the aesthetical folks', said Goethe, 'who
torment themselves in endeavouring, by some abstract words, to reduce to
a conception that inexpressible thing to which we give the name of beauty.
Beauty is a primeval phenomenon [UrphŠnomen], which itself never makes
its appearance, but the reflection of which is visible in a thousand
different utterances of the creative mind, and is as various as
nature itself.' (Goethe, Conversations with Eckermann) ";
quotes[1460]="Games are not Movies. The emotions and catharsis one gets from movies
can only come from that source. The film maker waives the magic for
two hours or so. But the game maker has to come up with a fun, enjoyable
interactive 'experience' which runs on hardware. I fear all these
improvements in graphic power are turning many games into movie-like
experiences which are missing on the essential nature of what a game is.
(Toru Iwatani, creator of PacMan) ";
quotes[1461]="Every one of us has a thousand different kinds of...
of little people inside of us. And some of them want to
get out and be wild, and some want to be sad or happy or
inventive or... or even just go dancing. That's why we all
have so many different urges at different times. And all
those different little people inside of us... we must
never be afraid to take them with us, wherever we go.
(Lwaxana Troi, Cost of Living) ";
quotes[1462]="It is alarming that publications devoted to architecture have
banished from their pages the words beauty, inspiration, magic,
spellbound, enchantment, as well as the concepts of serenity,
silence, intimacy and amazement. All these have nestled in
my soul, and though I am fully aware that I have not done
them complete justice in my work, they have never ceased
to be my guiding lights. (Luis Barragan, 1980) ";
quotes[1463]="Our scientists sought phenomenon, and ignored theoretical explanation.
Since the arrival of the Europeans, the question has always been concerning
explanations, circular orbits, mean movements, eclipses and squares...
(but) really it does not seem to me the least inconvenient to ignore
the western theoretical explanations and simply consider the facts.
(Yuan Yuan, Chinese Science Biographer, 18th Century) ";
quotes[1464]="I know that most men, including those at ease with problems
of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest
and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to
admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in
explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to
others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the
fabric of their lives. (Tolstoy) ";
quotes[1465]="An apt and true reply was given to Alexander the Great by a pirate
who had been seized. For when that king had asked the man what he meant
by keeping hostile possession of the sea, he answered with bold pride.
What thou meanest by seizing the whole earth; but because I do it with
a petty ship, I am called a robber, whilst thou who dost it with a
great fleet art styled emperor. ";
quotes[1466]="A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how
he felt about a tragedy. He said, 'I feel as if I have two wolves
fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one.
The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one.' The grandson
asked him, 'Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?'
The grandfather answered, 'The one I feed.' ";
quotes[1467]="It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of
a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and
coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are,
while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you
have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven
through as you gain by riding a bicycle. (Ernest Hemingway) ";
quotes[1468]="Put all sadness from thee, for it is the sister of doubt and anger.
It is the most mischievous of all spirits and the worst to the servants
of God. Learn now, O unwise man! how it troubleth the Holy Spirit;
remove therefore, sadness from thyself and afflict not the Holy Spirit
which dwelleth within thee. (The Shepherd of Hermas, 142-157 AD) ";
quotes[1469]="Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water.
The moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken.
Although its light is wide and great, the moon
is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide.
The whole moon and the entire sky are
reflected in dewdrops on the grass,
or even in one drop of water.
(Dogen, 1200-1253) ";
quotes[1470]="There is a soul and feeling in the natural face...
for the Almighty made it for the very purpose that you must see it,
and you can see it. You must feel that the human face is handsomer
than the finest artist ever painted it. I say it, I believe I am right.
Excuse me for so much feeling. (A. S. Southworth, 1873) ";
quotes[1471]="When real music comes to me - the music of the spheres,
the music that surpasseth understanding - that has
nothing to do with me, cause I'm just the channel.
The only joy for me is for it to be given to me,
and to transcribe it like a medium...
those moments are what I live for. (John Lennon) ";
quotes[1472]="There is no thing endowed with life - from man, who is enslaving
the elements, to the nimblest creature - in all this world that
does not sway in its turn. Whenever action is born from force,
though it be infinitesimal, the cosmic balance is upset
and the universal motion results. (Nikola Tesla) ";
quotes[1473]="A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has
destroyed itself within. The essential causes of Rome's decline
lay in her people, her morals, her class struggle, her failing trade,
her bureaucratic despotism, her stifling taxes, her consuming wars.
(Will Durant, Why Rome Fell) ";
quotes[1474]="The ultimate aim of all love affairs... is more important than
all other aims in man's life; and therefore it is quite worthy of
the profound seriousness with which everyone pursues it. What is decided
by it is nothing less than the composition of the next generation.
(Schopenhauer) ";
quotes[1475]="Freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want,
be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about
the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority
a great deal of discretion about what you do. (Rudy Guiliani, Mayor of NYC) ";
quotes[1476]="No good book has ever been written that has in it symbols arrived at
beforehand and stuck in. I tried to make a real old man, a real boy,
a real sea and a real fish and real sharks. But if I made them good
and true enough they would mean many things. (Ernest Hemingway, 1999) ";
quotes[1477]="I don't feel like I was successful because I made a lot of money,
although that's a nice byproduct. I feel like I was successful because
I changed, in a positive way, the way many people experience their own world.
(James Treybig, 2006, HP Engineer who founded Tandem Inc.) ";
quotes[1478]="and when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the
kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said,
The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither

the kingdom of God is within you. (Luke 17:20-21) ";
quotes[1479]="The principle of good is enunciated by Confucius; it consists in
establishing order within oneself. This order or harmony spreads
by a sort of contagion without specific effort. The principle
of evil consists in messing into other peoples' affairs.
(Ezra Pound) ";
quotes[1480]="Philosophy... is a science, and as such has no articles of faith;
accordingly, in it nothing can be assumed as existing except what is
either positively given empirically, or demonstrated through indubitable
conclusions. (Schopenhauer, Parerga & Paralipomena]) ";
quotes[1481]="I cannot conceive that anybody will require multiplications at the rate
of 40,000 or even 4,000 per hour; such a revolutionary change as the octonary
scale should not be imposed upon mankind in general for the sake of a few
individuals. (F.H. Wales, 1936) ";

the question whether the process of the temporal world
passes into the formation of other actualities, bound
together in an order in which novelty does not mean loss.

a non-linear computer weighing only about 160 pounds, having a
billion binary decision elements, that can be mass-produced
by unskilled labour? (Scott Crossfield, X-15 test pilot) ";
quotes[1485]="There's pretty good evidence that money doesn't matter much
for how you feel moment to moment. What seems to matter much
more is having good friends and family, and time to spend on
social activities. (Alan Krueger, Princeton economist) ";
quotes[1486]="When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth
and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers
and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall.
Think of it, always. (Gandhi) ";
quotes[1487]="There is but one ocean, though its coves have many names;
a single sea of atmosphere with no coves at all;

lying thin on the only earth for which there is no spare.
(David Brower, 1950) ";
quotes[1488]="Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular
as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys
in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning

Not at all! Between them lies the problem, what is unseeable, eternally

but also to the interests of others. (Philippians 2:3-4) ";
quotes[1822]="It is absolutely easy to say vinyl doesn't make sense when you look at
convenience, portability, all those things.. but all the really great stuff
in our lives comes from a root of passion or love. (Mike Jbara, Warner 2009) ";
quotes[1823]="Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone;
and do not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come.
Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.
(Ida Scott Taylor) ";
quotes[1824]="Apple at its core - its core value - is that we believe that people with passion
can change the world for the better... and that those people who are crazy enough
to think they can change the world are the ones that actually do. (Steve Jobs) ";
quotes[1825]="We have to measure what we want to know. If we measure the wrong thing
and then leap to a false conclusion about something we never measured,
we can actually be getting less educated through experimentation.
(Tom Rauch, W8JI Amateur Radio Blog) ";
quotes[1826]="Trust to what the senses show.
There's nothing false in what they know
If Understanding stays awake.
Joy and freshness in your vision couple.
Roam free afield, stay sure and supple.
See what riches are yours to take.
(Goethe, Vermachtnis) ";
quotes[1827]="Intolerably I dreamt of an exiguous and nitid labyrinth:
in the centre was a water jar; my hands almost touched it,
my eyes could see it, but so intricate and perplexed were
the curves that I knew I would die before reaching it.
(Jorge Luis Borges) ";
quotes[1828]="The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because
plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in
philosophy because it is an exalted activity, will have neither
good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its
theories will hold water. (John Gardner) ";
quotes[1829]="When we come into contact with the other person, our thoughts and actions
should express our mind of compassion, even if that person says and does
things that are not easy to accept. We practice in this way until we see
clearly that our love is not contingent upon the other person being lovable.
(Thich Nhat Hanh) ";
quotes[1830]="Our youth now love luxury. The have bad manners,
contempt for authority; they show disrespect for
their elders and love chatter in place of exercise;
they no longer rise when elders enter the room;
they contradict their parents, chatter before good company;
gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers. (Socrates) ";
quotes[1831]="Wherever progress is to ensue, deviating natures are of greatest importance...
The strongest natures retain the type, the weaker ones help to advance it...
To this extent, the famous theory of the survival of the fittest does not seem
to me to be the only viewpoint from which to explain the progress of strengthening
of a man or of a race. (Uncle Friedrich) ";
quotes[1832]="When those who are economically powerful are in a position to..
wrest privileged rights for themselves, then among the economically
weak there will grow a corresponding opposition.. which leads..
to revolutionary disturbances. If the existence of a
special province of rights makes it impossible for
such privileged rights to arise, then disturbances
of this sort cannot occur. (Rudolf Steiner 1920) ";
quotes[1833]="There is no claim that [the chess automaton] will think or accomplish things
where thought is necessary, but its inventor claims that the limits within
which thought is really necessary need to be better defined, and that an
automaton can do many things that are popularly classed with thought.
It will do certain things which depend upon certain conditions,
and these according to arbitrary rules selected in advance.
(Leonardo Torres y Quevedo, Scientific American, 1915) ";
quotes[1834]="Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time
running around shouting that he's been robbed. The fact is that most putts
don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people,
most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration,
most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old-time
rail journey--delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts,
interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts
of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.
