Threnody for Chip   by Matt Terry

 

Part I

"Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality." - Frank Herbert

"Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance." -Confucius

"A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." -Max Planck

"If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; but if he says that it is impossible, he is very probably wrong." -Arthur C. Clarke

Part II

"He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice."

"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

"The important thing is not to stop questioning."
             

  ~Albert Einstein~


Part III

"People would rather be wrong than be different." ~Henry Jacobsen

"The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent." – Gore Vidal
