Charles Bukowski
“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
Charles Bukowski

Werner Heisenberg
“Whenever we proceed from the known into the unknown we may hope to understand, but we may have to learn at the same time a new meaning of the word 'understanding.”
Werner Karl Heisenberg, Physics and Philosophy: The Revolution in Modern Science

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“He who cannot draw on three thousand years is living from hand to mouth.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Charles Bukowski
“We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
Charles Bukowski

George Dyson
“There are two kinds of creation myths: those where life arises out of the mud, and those where life falls from the sky. In this creation myth, computers arose from the mud, and code fell from the sky.”
George Dyson, Turing's Cathedral: The Origins of the Digital Universe
