A monthly thread for posting any interesting rationality-related quotes you've seen recently on the Internet, or had stored in your quotesfile for ages.
Please post all quotes separately (so that they can be voted up/down separately) unless they are strongly related/ordered.
Do not quote yourself.
Do not quote comments/posts on LW/OB - there is a separate thread for it.
No more than 5 quotes per person per monthly thread, please.
That had better be a long conversation, a very wise person, and one damned lost field you were studying for ten years.

Meh. Maybe if that wise man is Eliezer Yudkowsky. But then, calling Eliezer Yudkowsky a "wise man" is like calling the Sahara Desert a "litterbox".
Or Chuck Norris a "tough guy".
ETA: Grr! I can't put underscores in people's names anymore without adding italics!
