Magic, Science, and Religion

My last semester at Guilford, I finally took my IDS class - an interdisciplinary course required for all senior liberal arts students before they would be allowed to graduate. That course provided me with about a page worth of really profound and really amusing quotes, and since I don't think I'll have a chance to share them with people any other way, I've decided to put them out here in my blog. I believe that all quotes are credited to their original speakers, unless the speaker was unknown.

"The anti-technology revolution always fails." - Eric M.

"It's hard to tell." - Eric M. (these words themselves don't sound too impressive, but Eric always said this instead of "I don't know" or something similar. The way in which he said it convinced me every time that nothing was unknowable, as long as I was willing to put forth the effort to discover it.)

(this was all that remained of a lesson from another class that had been left up on the blackboard, and only partially erased. I am intensely curious about what it originally intended to say!)
"...DESIGN
...BROUGHT U INTO BEING"


"Dang! I could really use some flippers!" - Don S.

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than knowledge." - Charles Darwin (hey...not all the quotes came from my classmates and professors!)

"Take New Zealand for example, it's full of birds." - Beth T.

"Why do we teach kids to stop, drop, and roll when they catch on fire? 'Cause they might." - Eric M.

"That's why this class is called 'Magic, Science, and Religion', and not 'cat'." - Beth T.

"Correspondence theory: 'the truth is out there'." - Eric M.

"In conclusion - snakes." - Danielle P.

And sadly, the semester ended before I could record any more. I miss that class.

PLUR!
