Education enables a man to get along without the use of his intelligence.~ Albert Edward Wiggin Almost everyone seems concerned with the need to relax tension. However, relaxation of tension, which everyone thinks is good, is not easily distinguished from relaxing one's guard, which almost everyone thinks is bad. Relaxation, like Miltown, is not an end in itself. Not all danger comes from tension.

Nobody, however, likes to think about anything unpleasant, even to avoid it. And so the crucial problem of thermonuclear war is frequently dispatched with the label 'War is unthinkable' -- which, translated freely, means we don't want to think about it.~ Albert Wohlstetter Remember this, if you can. There is nothing more precious than time. You probably feel you have a measureless supply of it, but you have not.

Rise for the flag salute.~ Frank Zappa Previous 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
