Office/Post: Building 522 Room 3000, UCI Irvine, CA 92697-2790 In order to do interdisciplinary work, it is not enough to take a 'subject' (a theme) and to arrange two or three sciences around it. Interdisciplinary study consists of creating a new object, which belongs to no one. Roland Barthes The main point to realise is that all knowledge presents itself within a conceptual framework adapted to account for previous experience and that any such frame may prove too narrow to comprehend new experiences. Neils Bohr. An occasional abject failure, bracing like a cold bath, is a therapeutic chastening for the soul and an excellent antidote to hubris. People, institutions and nations should all have them on a regular basis. Anatol Deuremise, trans A Hardy. Back by popular demand - a condensed version of wit and wisdom from previous sig files - enjoy, or ignore : The difference between theory and practice is greater in practice than in theory - anon. Plans are useless, planning is indispensable. Dwight Eisenhower. Objectivity is a subject's delusion that observing can be done without him. Heinz von Foerster Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist. Kenneth Boulding (ca. 1980) If we can't be free, at least we can be cheap. Frank Zappa If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it? Albert Einstein Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein Why are atoms so small? Irwin Schrödinger The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. (attributed to )Edmund Burke Never believe anything until it's officially denied. Claud Cockburn Education is not the filling of a pail, it is the lighting of a fire. W B Yeats Life is like a sewer, what you get out of it depends on what you put into it. Tom Lehrer. Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. Dwight D. Eisenhower Time comes when silence is betrayal. Martin Luther King Those who can not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. Giorgio de Santillana Fools rush in, but he who hesitates is lost. Simon Penny There is a time to laugh, and a time not to laugh, and this is not one of them. (the original) Inspector Clouseau. ------ End of Forwarded Message _______________________________________________ Ada_list mailing list [email protected] http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/
