Simply Connected Lie

Famous quotes containing the words simply, connected and/or lie:

    The liar at any rate recognizes that recreation, not instruction, is the aim of conversation, and is a far more civilised being than the blockhead who loudly expresses his disbelief in a story which is told simply for the amusement of the company.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    In the hollow Lotos land to live and lie reclined
    On the hills like Gods together, careless of mankind.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
