"...the new Space Force flag... they clearly ripped off from Star Trek.
Star Trek is a CBS property sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to cease and
desist your copyright infringement or, at the very least, remove the
tribble from your head."
-Stephen Colbert
"When a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as
there are always new babies there are always new fairies. "
-J.M.
Barrie
"Disease can never be conquered, can never be quelled by emotion's
wailful screaming or faith's cymballic prayer. It can only be conquered
by the energy of humanity and the cunning in the mind of man. In the
patience of a Curie, in the enlightenment of a Faraday, a Rutherford, a
Pasteur, a Nightingale, and all other apostles of light and cleanliness,
rather than of a woebegone godliness, we shall find final deliverance
from plague, pestilence, and famine."
-Sean O'Casey
"Nationalism is an infantile disease, the measles of mankind."
-Albert
Einstein
"Physicians pour drugs of which they know little, to cure diseases of
which they know less, into humans of which they know nothing."
-Voltaire
