I'm quite fond of a few of Oppenheimer's
"It is perfectly obvious that the whole world is going to hell. The only possible chance that it might not is that we do not attempt to prevent it from doing so" is as good a mantra now as it was 50 years ago.

There's also another something along the lines of "it is the profoundest truth that a scientist cannot keep that which he knows to be true from the world simply because of fear of what the world will do with it"

which coming from the bloke who invented the atomic bomb, is pretty relevant.

fuck, I know, it's sad isn't it?
I also have an anonymous quote on my office door "If you torture data enough, it will confess to anything"

I really am very sad.
