Einstein

"Through the reading of popular scientific books, I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true.

"Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular.

- Robertson Davies

Philosophy

The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to. -Chuang Tzu
