This planet seems to be in such sorry shape. and i can't ever think about the rest of the universe without coming back home and thinking what the implications for life here would be if we were to really have some definitive proof of extraterrestrial life.

We all know of course, that we should never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever fiddle around in any way with electrical equipment. never.

You say: 'oh, please forgive' you say: 'oh, live and let live.' but sorry doesn't help us. sorry will not save us. sorry is just a word you find so easy to say (so you say it anyway). sorry doesn't help us. sorry won't protect us. sorry won't undo all the good gone wrong.

I am obliged to interpolate some remarks on a very difficult subject: proof and its importance in mathematics. all physicists, and a good many quite respectable mathematicians, are contemptuous about proof. i have heard professor eddington, for example, maintain that proof, as pure mathematicians understand it, is really quite uninteresting and unimportant, and that no one who is really certain that he has found something good should waste his time looking for proof.

Just let yourself be broken and humiliated. just your whole life, keep telling people, i'm sorry. i'm sorry. i'm sorry. i'm sorry. i'm sorry.

Sorry' he said. 'no, i'm sorry.' 'what are you sorry for?' 'rattling on like a mad old cow. i'm sorry, i'm tired, bad day, and i'm sorry for being so...boring.' 'you're not that boring.' 'i am, dex. god, i swear i bore myself.' 'well, you don't bore me.' he took her hand in his. 'you could never bore me. you're one in a million, em.

For myself, i like a universe that, includes much that is unknown and, at the same time, much that is knowable. a universe in which everything is known would be static and dull, as boring as the heaven of some weak-minded theologians. a universe that is unknowable is no fit place for a thinking being. the ideal universe for us is one very much like the universe we inhabit. and i would guess that this is not really much of a coincidence.

There are a lot of directors who are knowledgeable about images, and others who aren't.

As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.

We should not be content to say that power has a need for such-and-such a discovery, such-and-such a form of knowledge, but we should add that the exercise of power itself creates and causes to emerge new objects of knowledge and accumulates new bodies of information. ... the exercise of power perpetually creates knowledge and, conversely, knowledge constantly induces effects of power. ... it is not possible for power to be exercised without knowledge, it is impossible for knowledge not to engender power.

There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge... observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination.
