You see, I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty

attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool

takes in all the lumber of every sort he comes across, so that the knowledge

which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with

a lot of other things, so that he has difficulty in laying his hands upon it.

Now the skilful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his

brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing

his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect

order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and

can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every

addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of

the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out

the useful ones.

-- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "A Study in Scarlet"

Q: Why did the tachyon cross the road?

A: Because it was on the other side.

Workers, the most absolutely necessary part of the whole social structure, without whose services none can either eat, or clothe, or shelter himself, are just the ones who get the least to eat, to wear, and to be housed withal.

-- Voltairine de Cleyre

You enjoy the company of other people.

Whenever the literary German dives into a sentence, that is the last

you are going to see of him until he emerges on the other side of his

Atlantic with his verb in his mouth.

-- Mark Twain "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"

It makes a lot of sense, if you accept capitalist system, to try to accumulate property, not just because you want material welfare, but because that guarantees your freedom.

-- Noam Chomsky

You have a truly strong individuality.

Today is what happened to yesterday.

A light wife doth make a heavy husband.

-- Wm. Shakespeare, "The Merchant of Venice"

If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.

-- Henry David Thoreau

You may be gone tomorrow, but that doesn't mean that you weren't here today.
