Think

----

Thinking is like exercising; it isn't fun, but after you do it, you'll feel better.


I'm having a really stressful week/end, for my school work is great in size. Still, i think it's important to post (which all of you should also be doing, comon!) so i'll just post some quotes that i like. Read them. There will be a test.

Science is answers that must always be questioned.

Philosophy is questions that may never be answered.
Religion is answers that must never be questioned.
Politics is answers that lobbyists pay for.

"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use."-- Galileo Galilei

"All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusions is called a philosopher." -- Ambrose Bierce

"Being a philosopher, I have a problem for every solution." -- Robert Zend

"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time." - Bertrand Russell

And here' an added bonus, for anyone who likes elephants:

Now I've gotta get back to writing that history paper...ugh.
