I've got several so get ready!


Why does the wind blow? It wipes the tracks where we have passed. So that no one can tell, whether we still exist. (sorry I don't know who it's by... I've lost his name!)

"It is best, it seems to me, to separate one's inner striving from one's trade as far as possible. It is not good when one's daily break is tied to God's special blessing." -- Albert Einstein

"Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty." -- Albert Einstein

"So long as they don't get violent, I want to let everyone say what they wish, for I myself have always said exactly what pleased me." -- Albert Einstein

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, scince for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despiceable an ignoreable war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." -- Albert Einstein

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." -- Albert Einstein

mrgreen i heart Einstein can't you tell?!


Now for my Isaac Asimov!

It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.
Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.

You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist.

The above one is my favorite. I'm an aspiring writer and well, that one gives me heart to keep going and finish the books that I've been writing for the least 5 years (they're all half done... damned ADD!)
