This is not the age of pamphleteers. It is the age of the engineers.  The
spark-gap is mightier than the pen.  Democracy will not be salvaged by men
who talk fluently, debate forcefully and quote aptly.
                -- Lancelot Hogben, Science for the Citizen, 1938

This is supposed to be a happy occasion.
Let's not BICKER and ARGUE over who killed who!

This is the Baron.  Angel Martin tells me you buy information.  Ok,

This is the first numerical problem I ever did.  It demonstrates the
power of computers:

Enter lots of data on calorie & nutritive content of foods.  Instruct the

one should eat each day:

        1/2 chicken
        1 egg
        1 glass of skim milk
        27 heads of lettuce.
                -- Rev. Adrian Melott

This is the sort of English up with which I will not put.
                -- Winston Churchill

And now you know why.

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
Not with a bang but with a whimper.
                -- T.S. Eliot, "The Hollow Men"

This isn't right.  This isn't even wrong.
                -- Wolfgang Pauli, on a colleague's paper
