Terry Prachett quote: "It's lies. It's all lies. Some of them are just prettier than..."
It's lies. It's all lies. Some of them are just prettier than others, that's all. People see what they think is there. Terry Prachett
It is good to know what you are doing. The man with his pickled fish has set down one truth and has recorded in his experience many lies. The fish is not that color, that texture, that dead, nor does he smell that way. John Steinbeck
It's all just fictions anyway. We do what we do and then we make up reasons for it afterward but they're never the true reasons, the truth is always just out of reach. Orson Scott Card
Henry Ford quote: "It is not usual to speak of an employee as a partner, and yet..."
It is not usual to speak of an employee as a partner, and yet what else is he? Henry Ford
It's as if they'd heard that there are values one is supposed to honor and this is what one does to honor them -- so they went through the motions, like ghosts pulled by some sort of distant echoes from a better age. Ayn Rand
