InsaneJournal

Occasionally I come across awesome or amusing quotes in my textbooks. I never posted the really amusing one I found freshman year, about the extremely admirable chemist who blew three of his fingers off for science, but more philosophically, my history textbook now notes that "Greatness, one assumes, is distributed randomly across time and space."

There was another one about symbolic fishladders in my Russian environmental politics textbook, but that was mostly just depressing. I just like the mental image of some people looking at a four-dimensional map and noting the random distribution of dots indicating greatness nodes. And I really need to get off my ass and get some Doctor Who icons.
