The sciences of today are business enterprises run on business principles. Research in large institutes is not guided by Truth and Reason but by the most rewarding fashion, and the great minds of today increasingly turn to where the money is - which means military matters.

The past is malleable and flexible, changing as our recollection interprets and re-explains what has happened.

When he died, I felt like I had lost a limb.

Personally, I experience the greatest degree of pleasure in having contact with works of art. They furnish me with happy feelings of an intensity such as I cannot derive from other realms.

Thomas Fuller

Bir elman?n bir meyve oldu?u, bir baban?n baba, bir sava??n sava? oldu?u, bir gerçe?in gerçek oldu?u, bir yalan?n yalan oldu?u, bir a?k?n a?k oldu?u, bir b?kman?n b?kma oldu?u, bir ba?kald?rman?n ba?kald?rma oldu?u, bir sessizli?in bir sessizlik oldu?u, bir haks?zl???n bir haks?zl?k oldu?u, bir düzenin bir düzen ve bir evlili?in bir evlilik oldu?u, olaca?? günler gelecekti, inan?yordu Tante Rosa.

The sweetest of all sounds is praise.

Xenophon

Society has taught us to suppress certain things and not do certain things.

Kesha

There is nothing with which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming.
