Thus the creationist's favourite question "What is the use of half an eye?" Actually, this is a lightweight question, a doddle to answer. Half an eye is just 1 per cent better than 49 per cent of an eye. View quote
Richard Dawkins
The fact that we have not yet found the slightest evidence for life - much less intelligence - beyond this Earth does not surprise or disappoint me in the least. Our technology must still be laughably primitive, we may be like jungle savages listening for the throbbing of tom-toms while the ether around them carries more words per second than they could utter in a lifetime. View quote
Arthur C. Clarke
One of the things that kept most comics from being monthly was that very few artists could produce 24 pages per month.

If all human production (aesthetic or otherwise) has its documentary aspect (i.e., it can be associated, by a knowledgeable reader, with a time and place), does this endanger its aesthetic aspects per se? It is the richness of the pattern that is aesthetically at stake. How many art histories does it take to make us understand that reference (a use context) and historicity are not the same? View quote

Switzerland has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, the strongest currency and the largest financial center for foreign assets. And we're a small country with no natural resources. Switzerland is the world capital of dealing in stolen goods. View quote
Jean Ziegler
I write for a certain sphere of readers in the United States who on average watch seven and a half hours of multichannel television per day. View quote
Jerzy Kosinski
People often forget this - a vinyl album could only contain a maximum of 20 minutes per side! View quote
