There was a young man of Cadiz
Who inferred that life is what it is,
For he early had learnt,
If it were what it weren’t,
It could not be that which it is.
Anthropic Principle, anonymous limerick
Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is doing what you are told no matter what is right.
as quoted in Huberman, The Quotable Atheist, p. 11
Give me a girl at an impressionable age, and she is mine for life.
