A few of my favorite quotations:(more quotes)

• [upon losing his right eye's sight] Now I will have less distraction.
  -- Leonhard Euler
• Sometimes it happens that a man's circle of horizon becomes smaller and smaller, and as the radius approaches zero it concentrates on one point. And then that becomes his point of view.
  -- David Hilbert
• There'll be plenty of time to rest in the grave.
  -- Paul Erdos
• Do not try to visualize n-dimensional objects for n>=4. Such an effort is not only doomed to failure - it may be dangerous to your mental health. (If you do succeed, then you are in trouble!)
  -- Vasek Chvatal (Linear Programming, page 252.)
• Học như nghịch thủy hành châu, bất tiến tất thoái.
  Tâm như bình nguyên mục mã, dị phóng nan truy.
• The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.
  -- Anatole France
• I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
  -- Chang-tzu
• Is something wrong with human evolution? (unknown source)
