pKnatzQuotes

2011 06 20 See Quotes at PKnatz blog.

old:
Knatz.com's quote files are all up here now and these are the versions I edit and will transfer to a new Knatz.com: where I'll be able to organize them by a logic other than diary-type chronology. Blogspot lets us edit post dates: so: I'm now going to re-order these postings so the subjects – Speaker, or Topic (or pk speaking) – are alphabetical by key word.


Knatz.com's quotes sections was called Quotes and was located in my Teaching section. The address of this blog is pKnatzQuotes: at blogspot.com: I wish I'd thought to name it SaithPk.

Notes (I string some from old versions):

Knatz.com celebrates the heroes on the side of revising emotions to fit the empirically revised facts: Abelard, Occam ... Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler ... Newton, Einstein, Hawking ... Freud, Bateson, Prigogine ...

The citations are more or less, not strictly, alphabetical. If you find a period omitted at the end of a quote, don't worry: I fix them when I see them. It was a style I tried in the early days of Knatz.com, to omit the period from short single sentence quotes, as I did from incomplete sentence quotes. Post a comment, I'll find it sooner.

if you don't see a quote by a favorite, such quotes may well be in a more specialized quote file: Bateson, Illich, Thoreau ... or in a topic file: semiotics, law, God ...

Some of my quotes I record from memory, memory going back decades. But most of them reflect current reading. I assure you, if I were reading Orwell, Twain, Byron, Shakespeare ... currently, or Tolstoy or Faulkner, there would be plenty more of them here. Even my already many Bateson quotes would swell, not to mention Fuller, Illich ...

The form is encyclopedic, not the content: I'm one old deaf, broke, nearly blind guy.



Hooray! 2010 07 13: I've now posted All of my Knatz.com quotes modules here at his blog. Thus my Quotes becomes the first of Knatz.com folders to complete a resurrection! I did it first because in many ways it's the most trivial. In addition to the obvious benefit I'll now also be able to add more quotes to it faster than I ever did at Knatz.com. Only a small portion of my digitized quotes ever got used: I have data bases of quotes going back to the mid-'80s and written scraps of paper going back half a century.

Next day: Goody, I've begun. Old pk quotes files are now merging with pk's Knatz.com files as reposted here.

I notice an inconsistency but won't waste time apologizing for it. Once I followed my academic training and emboldened titles of books, plays, compositions ... and italiciced titles of individual poems, songs ... Now I see there in one post I follow that practice and in others reverse it. Oh, well. I'll fix them but expect to take my time doing so.
