"Life does not cease to be funny when people die, any more than it ceases
to be serious when people laugh."
--G. B. Shaw
"And if I laugh at any mortal thing,
'Tis that I may not weep."
--George Gordon, Lord Byron
"No one is more profoundly sad than he who laughs too much."
--J. P. Richter
"Accelerating technological progress (Extropic Phase TransitionT) is the
only strategy that leads to long-term success."
--Ken Yanthropus-Platyops
"In a real system that is going to be used by real people, it is a mistake
to assume that the users will all undertake the sorts of noble and sublime
activities which you created the system to enable. Most of them will not.
Cyberspace may indeed change humanity, but only if it begins with humanity
as it really is. So, get real."
--Clay Shirky
