Dalai Lama
“Our attitude toward our own culture has recently been characterized by two qualities, braggadocio and petulance. Braggadocio -- empty boasting of American power, American virtue, American know-how -- has dominated our foreign relations now for some decades. Here at home -- within the family, so to speak -- our attitude to our culture expresses a superficially different spirit, the spirit of petulance. Never before, perhaps, has a culture been so fragmented into groups, each full of its own virtue, each annoyed and irritated at the others.”
Daniel J. Boorstin
“The old system of having a baby was much better than the new system, the old system being characterized by the fact that the man didn't have to watch.”
Dave Barry
“The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato”
Alfred North Whitehead
