What did I tell you about us doing this to ourselves?01/17/08 :: Quote :: Gurney HalleckI'm the well-trained fruit tree. Full of well-trained feelings and abilities and all of them grafted onto me--all bearing for someone else to pick. 01/17/08 :: Quote :: "Muad'Dib: Family Commentaries" by the Princess Irulan"Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test that it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain."  12/29/07 :: Quote :: British Ministry of InformationWhat is truth? We must adopt a pragmatic definition: it is what is believed
to be the truth. A lie that is put across therefore becomes the truth and
may, therefore, be justified. The difficulty is to keep up lying... it is
simpler to tell the truth and if a sufficient emergency arises, to tell one,
big thumping lie that will then be believed. 09/04/07 :: Reference :: (link) :: The God Fuse11/01/05 :: Folder :: Concepts10/18/05 :: Article :: Stub - Evolution &c :: 08/11/05 :: Reference :: (link) :: Fact Check06/28/05 :: Article :: Skepticism :: 02/26/05 :: Article :: On teaching evolution in public schools :: 01/14/05 :: Quote :: Thomas JeffersonIt is error alone which needs the support of government.

Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or anyone else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else. 03/12/04 :: Quote :: Victor HugoAn invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
