In America I had arranged with a gramophonefirm to make some of my music. This suggested the idea that I should compose something whose length should be determined by the capacity of the record.

Douglas AdamsAnything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can
probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five
is against the natural order of things.

Plato – The Phaedrus (ca 370 bc)
…you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.

It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another…we consider those, where the intellectual faculties most developed as the highest. – A bee doubtless would [use] … instincts as a criteria.
