One of Jon's favorite quotes is:""A witty saying proves nothing." - Voltaire - "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread." - Anatole France - "Art must be beautiful, artist must be beautiful." - Marina Abramovic - "Fortuna audaces adiuvat." - Roman Proverb - "I have no imagination but what I steal." - Ann Townsend - "Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear." - Thomas Jefferson - "Nine tenths of education is encouragement." – Anatole France - Q: You have run into criticism from certain religious groups who regard you as subversive, with the Catholic Herald describing your work as 'worthy of the bonfire.' Do such emotional responses concern or upset you or does it please you to generate strong reactions? A: I'm delighted to have brought such excitement into what must be very dull lives. - Philip Pullman - Darwin is no Santa - I once wrote to Darwin asking for a GI Joe battle fortress, and all I got back was a Mangrove Finch! Sure it had a slightly more graduated beak than last year's, but still. - Stephen Colbert - "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." – Anatole France - "The Government of the United States of America is...Expand for more
not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." - From Article 11 of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the United States of America and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli of Barbary, ratified by the senate and signed by President John Adams in 1797 - "Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities." - Ayn Rand (While good and true, this quote is also the winner of the award for most gratuitous use of semicolons in the entire 20th century.) - "If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door." - Harvey Milk - "Gott ist tot! Gott bleibt tot! Und wir haben ihn getötet!" - Friedrich Nietzsche - "Daß der Glaube unter Umständen selig macht, daß Seligkeit aus einer fixen Idee noch nicht eine wahre Idee macht, daß der Glaube keine Berge versetzt, wohl aber Berge hinsetzt, wo es keine gibt: ein flüchtiger Gang durch ein Irrenhaus klärt zur Genüge darüber auf." - Friedrich Nietzsche - As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being – C.G. Jung - Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. - Oscar Wilde - The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition. - Carl Sagan - What's the use of a fine house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on? - Henry David Thoreau - Math, my dear boy, is nothing more than the lesbian sister of Biology. - Peter Griffin". More about Jon:"Look at me still talking when there's science to do. Please, PLEASE don't be offended if I don't remember your face, even if we've known each other for months. It's nothing personal, Google "prosopagnosia."".
