When I come upon anything - in Logic or in any other hard subject - that entirely puzzles me, I find it a capital plan to talk it over, aloud, even when I am all alone. One can explain things so clearly to one's self! And then, you know, one is so patient with one's self: one never gets irritated at one's own stupidity!
--Lewis Carroll

--Nazi Reichsmarshall Hermann Goering

I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
--Carl Sagan
