Von Neumann Neighborhood

Famous quotes containing the words von, neumann and/or neighborhood:

    The bad thing is that thinking about thought doesn’t help at all; one has to have it from nature so that the good ideas appear before us like free children of God calling to us: Here we are.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    What a lesson here for our world. One blast, thousands of years of civilization wiped out.
    —Kurt Neumann (1906–1958)

    To get time for civic work, for exercise, for neighborhood projects, reading or meditation, or just plain time to themselves, mothers need to hold out against the fairly recent but surprisingly entrenched myth that “good mothers” are constantly with their children. They will have to speak out at last about the demoralizing effect of spending day after day with small children, no matter how much they love them.
    —Wendy Coppedge Sanford. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, introduction (1978)
