Famous quotes containing the words penguin, modern and/or poets:

    “Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.”
    —Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)

    “In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude. It makes the whole world kin.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Freedom is slavery some poets tell us.
    Enslave yourself to the right leader’s truth,
    Christ’s or Karl Marx’, and it will set you free.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
