Random quote of the day:

“You can’t—sometimes I think you shouldn’t even try to—change people’s minds.  It just gets their backs up.  Better to put the information out and let them deal with it in their own way, on their own time.”

—Charles de Lint, Spirits in the Wires

Random quote of the day:

“The prosperous middle classes, who ruled the nineteenth century, placed an excessive value upon the placidity of existence.  They refused to face the necessities for social reform imposed by the new industrial system, and they are now refusing to face the necessities for intellectual reform imposed by the new knowledge.”

—Alfred North Whitehead, Science and the Modern World, 1925
