“Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak.... They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Seeing our common-sense conceptual framework for mental phenomena as a theory brings a simple and unifying organization to most of the major topics in the philosophy of mind.”
—Paul M. Churchland (b. 1942)
“The punters know that the horse named Morality rarely gets past the post, whereas the nag named Self-Interest always runs a good race.”
—Gough Whitlam (b. 1916)
“Original thought is like original sin: both happened before you were born to people you could not have possibly met.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
