Quotes

Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future. Niels Bohr ************************* Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite. John Kenneth Galbraith ************************* There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves. Will Rogers ************************* No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man. Heraclitus *************************** I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things. Henri Matisse ************************** In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot. Czesław Miłosz
