We prefer deep reflections on Philosophy, Shakespearean Sonnets, and tender musings along the lines of:
CXI O! for my sake do you with Fortune chide, The guilty goddess of my harmful deeds, That did not better for my life provide Than public means which public manners breeds. Thence comes it that my name receives a brand, And almost thence my nature is subdu'd To what it works in, like the dyer's hand: Pity me, then, and wish I were renew'd; Whilst, like a willing patient, I will drink, Potions of eisel 'gainst my strong infection; No bitterness that I will bitter think, Nor double penance, to correct correction. Pity me then, dear friend, and I assure ye, Even that your pity is enough to cure me. --William Shakespeare
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. --Albert Einstein

Beauty hath no true glass, except it be In the sweet privacy of loving eyes. -James Russell Lowell (1843)

As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. --Albert Einstein
