Monday Quotations

1/24/11.

"'Itzig, where are you riding to?'"
"'Don't ask me, ask the horse.'"

--- Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939)


"Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten."

--- B.F. Skinner (1904 - 1990)


"Eternity's a terrible thought. I mean, where's it all gong to end?"

--- Tom Stoppard (1937 - )



"In the nineteenth century the problem was that God is dead; in the twentieth century the problem is that man is dead. In the nineteenth century inhumanity meant cruelty; in the twentieth century it means schizoid self-alienation. The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men become robots.

--- Erich Fromm (1900 - 1980)
