Quotation of the Day for February 11, 2011 "Just because an idea is true doesn't mean it can be proved. And just because an idea can be proved doesn't mean it's true. When the experiments are done, we still have to choose what to believe." - Jonah Lehrer's disturbing concluding remarks on the problem of repeatability in scientific experiments, in his New Yorker article, The Truth Wears Off.

Quotation of the Day for February 10, 2011 But the poor dog, in life the firmest friend, The first to welcome, foremost to defend, Whose honest heart is still his master's own, Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone, Unhonour'd falls, unnoticed all his worth, Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth: - Lord Byron, Epitaph to a Dog. [The submitter notes: submitted in memory of Rufus T. Dawg; born 1999, sent coursing after elephants, eternally, Febuary 6, 2011.] Submitted by: Mike McGuffin Feb. 7, 2011

"As the fiftieth birthday approaches, you get the sense that your life is thinning out, and will continue to thin out, until it thins out into nothing. And you sometimes say to yourself: That went a bit quick. That went a bit quick. In certain moods, you may want to put it rather more forcefully. As in: OY!! THAT went a BIT F****** QUICK!!! ... Then fifty comes and goes, and fifty-one, and fifty-two. And life thickens out again. Because there is now an enormous and unsuspected presence within your being, like an undiscovered continent. This is the past."

- Martin Amis, from his novel The Pregnant Widow.

Quotation of the Day for August 30, 2010


So close to something, I feel it,
All alone, I can't help believing -
Here I go into the Great Unknown
No one can tell me where I'm gonna be
When I sail into the mystery
I know I'm falling, don't know where I'm gonna land
Are you ready? Am I ready? I believe I am.

- Paul Quarrington, writer and musician, from his song "Are You Ready". He wrote the song shortly before his death in January 2010 from lung cancer. Quarrington wrote a memoir of his last days called Cigar Box Banjo: Notes on Music and Life, which includes a CD with this and other songs.
