“The world's greatest computer is the human mind, not the machine.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

Erich Maria Remarque
“I looked at her. what was there to know? Knowledge was a speck of foam dancing on top of a wave. Every gust of wind could blow it away; but the wave remained.”
Erich Maria Remarque The Night in Lisbon

Herman Melville
“There is all the difference in the world between paying and being paid. The act of paying is perhaps the most uncomfortable affliction that the two orchard thieves entailed upon us. But being paid- what will compare with it? The urbane activity with which a man receives money is really marvelous, considering that we so earnestly believe money to be the root of all earthly ills, and that on no account can a monied man enter heaven. Ah! how cheerfully we consign ourselves to perdition!”
Hermann Melville

J.R.R. Tolkien
“I may be a burglar...but I'm an honest one, I hope, more or less.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

Herman Melville
“I promise nothing complete; because any human thing supposed to be complete, must for that very reason infallibly be faulty.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale
