This is my collection of quotes as posted on my facebook page. Let me know what you think of them. I have added some personal remarks about each one. There should and will be a blog entry for each.
"I think of art and science as sight and insight. Art concieves and science reveals" -Paul Maxwell
I really like this quote, it pretty much embodies my view on education (but thats for anther blog entry).
"If it be right, do it boldly, if it be wrong leave it undone."
Author: Bernard Gilpin
This one is simply great, its what we are taught to do in music, its what we should always do.
A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices.
Edward R. Murrow
Too true in todays society. Just learn a little and think about it people, thats all.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand." -Einstein
Also very true. Academic institutions are overlooking this hardcore with their sink-or-swim educations and lack of art integration into academics. Imagination is how we got from stones to space stations, don't forget that!
"It's better to reach for the stars and fall on your face than to not reach at all" - Roy Eldridge
This is pretty much my motto. You gotta shoot for your goals, whatever they may be. If you never try you will never know if you had what it took.
“Religion is the frozen thought of men, out of which they build temples” - Krishnamurti
Well put.
"If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error."
- John Kenneth Galbraith
Humore is always good, it can make your day!
"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."
- Steven Weinberg
This is possibly the most important and moving quote i have come accross. Its so deep, and so true. Religion is in the hearts of those with faith, not for the power hungry to control the mob. (more on this in a later blog)
