The Logic Off Topic list

Greg, what a great list of quotes that is!  I'll save if for future 
use (or abuse -- whichever is needed :).

The best one:
>o Creativity is the heart and soul of mathematics at all levels. The
>collection of special skills and techniques is only the raw material out
>of which the subject itself grows. To look at mathematics without the
>creative side of it, is to look at a black and white photograph of a
>Cezanne; outlines may be there, but everything that matters is missing. -
>R.C. Buck, 1962

... but unfortunately there's always bound to be a worst one too:
>o When you can not measure it, when you can not express it in numbers,
>you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science,
>whatever the matter may be.- Lord Kelvin

A better one (imho) would be something like "when you've not 
transcended beyond the stage of measurement and pure numbers, you 
have scarcely..."  Oh well...

cheers,
HJ
