Save the gerund and screw the whale.
Tom Stoppard
It makes me so happy. To be at the beginning again, knowing almost nothing.... A door like this has cracked open five or six times since we got up on our hind legs. It's the best possible time of being alive, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong.
Tom Stoppard
From principles is derived probability, but truth or certainty is obtained only from facts.
