What does not destroy me, makes me stronger. - Nietzsche
In the mirrors of the many judgments, my hands are the color of blood. I am a part of the evil that exists in the world... I sometime fancy myself an evil which exists to oppose other evils... And on that Great Day of which prophets speak but in which they do not truly believe, on that day when the world is cleansed of evil, then I, too, will go down into darkness, swallowing curses. Perhaps even sooner than that, I now judge. But whatever... Until then, I shall not wash my hands nor let them hang useless. - The Guns of Avalon
Nothing exists until it is measured. - Niels Bohr
There is no knowledge that isn't power. - MK3
Knowledge transforms the knower. - Plato
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
-- Gautama Buddha
"Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had." - Michael Crichton
"I am nothing and nobody; atoms that have learned to look at themselves; dirt that has learned to see the awe and the majesty of the universe" - Geoffrey Landis
"And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerve in the brain of Jupiter. But may we hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this most venerated reformer of human errors."
-Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Adams, April 11, 1823
