"Fidelity to the nature to which we belong, as parts however
weak, demands that we cherish our desires and ideals till we have
converted them into intelligence, revised them in terms of the ways and
means which nature makes possible. When we have used our thought to
its utmost and have thrown into the moving unbalanced balance of things
our puny strength, we know that though the universe slay us still we
may trust, for our lot is one with whatever is good in existence. We
know that such thought and effort is one condition of the coming into
existence of the better. As far as we are concerned it is the only
condition, for it alone is in our power. To ask more than this is
childish." - John Dewey, Experience and Nature (1925)
"Børk, børk, børk." - The Swedish Chef, The Muppet Show (1975)
