Time to clean house and donate a few books. Here's a few quotes to remember from a few of them:
"A man is what he thinks about all day. Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt. Did we enjoy today?" - Mr. Bean, from notes taped on his locker in SkyLab, Homesteading Space.
"Socrates is evidence enough that classical Greece was something less of a utopia. Yet there is an interesting contrast between one lone man sipping poison for ideological reasons and an entire city of millions slowly inhaling a lethal mixture as the price of a lifestyle committed to certain technological and material wants that have become needs. .... How have we arrived at these goals? What price are we willing to pay?" - H. Morowitz, "Prison of Socrates", Mayonnaise and the Origin of Life
"Nature never deceives us; it is always we who deceive ourselves." F. Mowat
