The Internet is the world's largest library. It's just that all the books are on the floor.

I think, therefore I laugh.

When asked why he doesn't believe in astrology, the logician Raymond Smullyan responds that he's a Gemini and Geminis never believe in astrology.

The simple equations that generate the convoluted Mandelbrot fractal have been called the wittiest remarks ever made.
