Bill's scrapbook selections - a few
quotes I
like
"It [American Football] combines the two worst aspects of American
culture; it is violence interspersed with committee meetings"
George
Will (see Pepsi University)
"The world would be a poor misshapen deformity were it planted
from
pole to pole with a single crop of wheat; and how valueless will it
have
become according to any concern of beauty, when the Anglo-Saxon rule of
law and order shall have overspread both hemispheres -- which may God
forbid
-- and established over them its debased industrialism, its crude
cookery
and its flavourless religious creed."
Wilfred
Scawen
Blunt
(see Pepsi Himalaya, Pepsi Arena, Pepsi
City, Pepsi Cities, Pepsi Police,......)
"Tell me about
the past, and I will know the future"
Confucius (see the significance and value of a knowledge of the
Geological Sciences)
"Progress, far from consisting in
change, depends on retentiveness. Those who cannot remember the past
are condemned to repeat it."
George Santayana (in The Life
of Reason (1905-1906) Vol. I, Reason in
Common Sense)
(see History
of
the Geological Sciences in the University at Albany)
