Quotes!

“Any scientist has to accept that the structure of their reality could change with a new discovery. And so, I have to be flexible in my beliefs. The foundation could change at any moment with a new discovery”, Greg Graffin talking about his song “Los Pilgrim” on the Bad Religion Page
“We’re in a play of slow decay orchestrated by Boltzman”, Greg Graffin “Entropy”
“A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value”, Isaac Asimov
“Are you happy now with all the choices you’ve made? Are there times in life when you know you should’ve stayed? Will you compromise and then realize the price is too much to pay? Winners and losers, which one will you be today?”, Social Distortion “Winners and losers”
