Entry 287



Dedicated to all students in the public high schools of Texas who must pass the TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) test in order to receive their diplomas.



Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

Entry 287

Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed.
Blaise Pascal

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.
Stephen Hawking

I love not man the less, but Nature more.
Lord Byron

Thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges.
William Shakespeare

We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.
Einstein

In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
Aristotle

Nature does nothing in vain.
Aristotle

I am against nature. I don't dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay.
Bob Dylan

The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.
Voltaire

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity...and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
William Blake
