Let Me Quote You: Michael Crichton's "State of Fear"

The fact that so many people were executed for a fantasy -- and despite the reservations of prominent skeptics -- carries a lesson that we must always bear in mind. The consensus of the intellegentsia is not necessarily correct, no matter how many believe it, or for how many years the belief is held. It may still be wrong. In fact, it may be "very" wrong. And we must never forget it. Because it will happen again. And indeed it has.

Let Me Quote You: Guy Tal's "Six Silver Bullets"

Ask yourself honestly why you make images in the first place, and if anywhere in there is the desire to share something with others -- be it beauty, ideas, inspiration or story -- you owe it to your art to make sure it's dressed up to the nines before you strut it in front of those you wish to impress. Don't quit before the finish line.

I mean, how many times in your blog-walking you found someone -- in Friendster -- wrote so blatantly?
