Classic Quote

 

[Hobgoblin]

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
-Buddha


"We need not visit an insane asylum to find disordered minds. Our planet is the mental institution of the universe."
-Goethe


La verdad no se casa con nadie. (Truth marries no one.)
-Spanish proverb

The universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose. I suspect there are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamed of, or can be dreamed of, in any philosophy.
