"There is nothing permanent except change."

-- Heraclitus

“Mathematics may be defined as the economy of counting. There is no problem in the whole of mathematics which cannot be solved by direct counting.”
“The art of medicine cannot be inherited, nor can it be copied from books”
“Ancient recipients of instant news probably couldn't do very much about it, for instance. Xerxes would still need three months to get his army together, and he might not get home for years.”
“There are two kinds of writers: hustlers and sanctimonious hustlers.”
“Over the years I have photographed thousands of people. I have never stopped being curious and trying to discover new worlds. I have used my camera as a mirror for my subjects as well. I remember photographing a woman in her 80s for my book, Wise Women, who told me it had been a long time since anyone had really been interested in "seeing" or photographing her. When she saw the picture, she burst into tears. She saw something in the photograph, an inner beauty and soul, she felt had long ago vanished.”
“Sometimes the way to a man's heart is through his talleywacker.”
“Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.”
“Of all the names Polygamy went by (so as not to exasperate the Gentile population and even some of the wives of the members' own bosoms any more than necessary) -- such as Pluralism, Plural or Celestial Wedlock, the Principle, the Doctrine, the New Covenant and the Gospel Dispensation of the Meridian of Consummate Time -- the latter was thought to be the least like waving a red flag in front of a bull. But as it was hard to remember and did not make instant or any other kind of sense, it was not much used.”
