<<mourn not the tyrannosauri>>
I noticed a discussion on BR about Bertrand Russell, and, recalling that I dislike him, but forgetting precisely why, I set out on google to remind myself of the reason. Work intervened and then I lost interest; but before that happened, I did have to acknowledge that he produced some good quotes. And I came on some other quotes I thought you might enjoy, too:
Every advance in civilization has been denounced while it was still recent. - Bertrand Russell
Homosexuality is god's way of insuring that the truly gifted aren't burdened with children. - Sam Austin
[One we might all keep in mind...] Every person takes the limits of their own field of vision for the limits of the world. - Arthur Schopenhauer
When authorities warn you of the sinfulness of sex, there is an important lesson to be learned. Do not have sex with the authorities. -- Matt Groening
Making fun of born-again Christians is like hunting dairy cows with a high powered rifle and scope. -- P.J. O'Rourke
The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out, the conservative adopts them. -- Mark Twain
[This one is to present my new view, that no one, hetero- or homo-, should marry, if he or she is halfway decent] 1. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband... 8. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 9. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
-- St. Paul, I Corinthians
God created sex. Priests created marriage. --Voltaire
The road to truth is long, and lined the entire way with annoying bastards. --Alexander Jablokov
If it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil... the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever. - Woody Allen
Fear is the parent of cruelty. -- James Anthony Froude (1818-1894)
And, thames, hehe....
I didn't know he was dead. I thought he was British. --Unknown |
