"Perhaps in time the so-called Dark Ages will be thought of as including our own." ― Georg C. Lichtenberg Topic(s): Society More From Georg C. Lichtenberg "I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better." "We accumulate our opinions at an age when our understanding is at its weakest." "Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinion at all." More In Society "Inasmuch as society cannot go on without discipline of some kind, men were constrained, in the absence of any other form of discipline, to turn to discipline of the military type."― Irving Babbitt "Bipolar disorder, manic depression, depression, black dog, whatever you want to call it, is inherent in our society. It’s a product of stress and in my case over-work."― Adam Ant "The warrior may fight for gold or for an immediate gain, or for something to take home for the winter to feed the family. The soldier is part of a more complex society. He’s fighting for a group ethic of some sort."― C. J. Cherryh
