traveller casts upon departing day." - Johnson, Lives of the Poets: Dryden | ||

the future is to invent it." - Alan Kay | ||

"As all these results were obtained, not by any heroic method, but by
patient and detailed reasoning, I began to think it probable that
philosophy had erred in adopting heroic remedies for intellectual
difficulties, and that solutions were to be found merely by greater

anything more than an unfortunate legacy from theology." - Bertrand Russell, "Logical Atomism" | ||
