Quotes

"Artists and humanists embrace complexity and ambiguity. Mathematicians, in contrast, work by obsessively defining terms and stripping off extraneous meaning. The almost neurotic insistence that every term be rigorously defined, and every statement proved, ultimately frees one to imagine and talk about the unimaginable. Most people, traumatized by school experiences of mathematics, know all too well that mathematics is the most meticulous and demanding of disciplines, but few get to see that it is also the most liberating and imaginative of all human activities. Absolute precision buys the freedom to dream meaningfully." — Donal O'Shea, The Poincaré Conjecture

“ On two occasions I have been asked, – "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. ”

Logic cannot perceive, and logic also cannot convince. You need rhetoric. And that a computer cannot do. -- Peter Drucker, Business 2.0 Interview

The essential point in science is not a complicated mathematical formalism or a ritualized experimentation. Rather the heart of science is a kind of shrewd honesty that springs from really wanting to know what the hell is going on! -- Saul-Paul Sirag

The moon is covered with the results of astronomical odds.

Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house. -- Robert A. Heinlein, Notebooks of Lazarus

Every time I look at you I am more convinced of Darwin's theory.

Due to circumstances beyond your control, you are master of your fate and captain of your soul.

I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me this. -- Emo Phillips

(Raiden) What did you say?
(Colonel) The mission is a failure! Cut the power right now!
(Raiden) What's wrong with you?
(Rose) You'll ruin your eyes playing so close to the TV.
(Raiden) What are you talking about!?
(Colonel) Raiden, something happened to me last Thursday when I was driving home. I had a couple of miles to go -- I looked up and saw a glowing orange object in the sky, to the east! It was moving very irregularly... Suddenly, there was intense light all around me -- and when I came to, I was home. What do you think happened to me...?
(Raiden) Huh?
(Colonel) Fine, forget it!

I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm, in flap-jaw space, with the tuning fork, does a raw blink on Hiri-Kiri rock! I need scissors! 61!

I noticed this a while back, but you have far too many Game Overs. Sorry to be blunt, but you really stink at this game.

Honestly, though, you have played the game for a long time. Don't you have anything else to do with your time?

Big Boss here. Eenter the track on the bridge to the right. Over.

Actually, there is something I have been meaning to tell you but I just couldn't... I think you should know, though. On Saturday morning last week I saw a guy leaving Rosemary's room.

Snake, like Shakespeare said:
"Nought's had, all's spent,
Where our desire is got without content."
Basically, it means that your desire can get you into trouble if you're not careful.
That goes for Items too. Don't get too greedy or you might be sorry. Be careful, Snake.

Snake, remember what De Gaulle said:
"The graveyards are full of indispensable men."
Snake, you're all alone and surrounded by bad guys.
Try to be careful and avoid getting into a fight whenever you can.

Listen, you haven't reported in for a long time until now. You think you can just CALL only when you want something? You disappoint me.

He often complained that his heart would occasionally "stop beating", or that "someone had stolen his pulmonary artery". He would also hold oranges on his head, believing the Vitamin C would be absorbed by his brain via diffusion.

Once alone in the apartment, Chase began to capture, kill, and disembowel various animals, which he would then devour raw. Chase reasoned that by ingesting the creatures he was preventing his heart from shrinking.

He was preoccupied with any sign that something was wrong with him, which held true throughout his adult life, and he once entered an emergency room looking for the person who had stolen his pulmonary artery. He also complained that the bones were coming out through the back of his head, that his stomach was backwards, and that his heart often stopped beating.
