    “One of the causes of unhappiness among intellectuals in the present day is that so many of them, especially those whose skill is literary, find no opportunity for the independent exercise of their talents, but have to hire themselves out to rich corporations directed by Philistines, who insist upon their producing what they themselves regard…

  • Quote of the Day 17 December 2013 – Deviation

    “The value for which P=0.05, or 1 in 20, is 1.96 or nearly 2; it is convenient to take this point as a limit in judging whether a deviation ought to be considered significant or not.

  • Quote of the Day 3 December 2013 – World

    “Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans. . .
