More and more NFL players have been willing their bodies to science so that their brains can be studied even if they die of other causes.
The violent reaction on the recent development of modern physics can only be understood when one realises that here the foundations of physics have started moving and that this motion has caused the feeling that the ground would be cut from science.
Science will explain how but not why. It talks about what is not what ought to be. Science is descriptive not prescriptive it can tell us about causes but it cannot tell us about purposes. Indeed science disavows purposes.
Fudging the data in any way whatsoever is quite literally a sin against the holy ghost of science. I'm not religious but I put it that way because I feel so strongly. It's the one thing you do not ever do. You've got to have standards.
Science my lad is made up of mistakes but they are mistakes which it is useful to make because they lead little by little to the truth.
The product of mental labor - science - always stands far below its value because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.

The poem is sad because it wants to be yours and cannot be.
I think it's sad that movies and television have caused the theatre to fade as a popular art form. I hope to get young people into the theatre and expose them to Shakespeare.
I only really watch sport. That's where you see real joy. I don't like watching much else on TV because it's generally either twisted or sad.
When I was leaving I kind of felt a little bit sad because I made some friends down in skid row.
I think it's a terrible thing to write and not enjoy it. It's a sad thing. But of course a lot of people do work because they need to eat. And we all need to eat but that's not the only reason to work. You couldn't have paid me not to write.
One of the reasons I wanted to teach deaf children was because it made me very sad that they spoke so clumsily and that they moved with less grace that I knew was possible of deaf people.
I mean I was just one of the ones who got exposed and because of the position I was in where I was in my life it went mainstream. A lot of people got out of it after my situation not because I went to prison but because it was sad for them to see me go through something that was so pointless that could have been avoided.
