Facts are written all over your face. Facts continue to change their shape."
Talking Heads"Well, we know where were going, But we dont know where weve been. And we know what were knowing, But we cant say what weve seen. And were not little children. And we know what we want. And the future is certain. Give us time to work it out."

John von Neumann"Children must be free to think in all directions irrespective of the peculiar ideas of parents who often seal their childrens minds with preconceived prejudices and false concepts of past generations. Unless we are very careful, very careful indeed, and very conscientious, there is still great danger that our children may turn out to be the same kind of people we are."
