"Anything you can do, I can do meta." Prof. Leon Lipson "L'exactitude n'est pas la vérité." Henri Matisse "Believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see." Benjamin Franklin "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that." George Carlin "You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on." George W Bush “All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth." Friedrich Nietzsche [modern composite quotation] “You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody’s crazy.” Charles Manson "What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."
