Paul Karl Feyerabend
“My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is, rather, to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits. The best way to show this is to demonstrate the limits and even the irrationality of some rules which she, or he, is likely to regard as basic. In the case that induction (including induction by falsification) this means demonstrating how well the counterinductive procedure can be supported by argument.”
Paul Karl Feyerabend, Against Method

Paul Karl Feyerabend
“A scientist, an artist, a citizen is not like a child who needs papa methodology and mama rationality to give him security and direction; he can take care of himself, for he is the inventor not only of laws, theories, pictures, plays, forms of music, ways of dealing with his fellow man, institutions but also of entire world views, he is the inventor of entire forms of life.”
Paul Karl Feyerabend, Science in a Free Society

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on earth. The more truth we have to work with, the richer we become.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“The things other people have put into my head, at any rate, do not fit together nicely, are often useless and ugly, are out of proportion with one another, are out of proportion with life as it really is outside my head.”
Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Breakfast of Champions

Roald Dahl
“So please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, and in its place you can install, a lovely bookshelf on the wall.”
Roald Dahl
