Seven random quotes... (and some GK Chesterson quotes)

I'm a huge fan of G K Chesterton and his writings....thanks Julien for sharing.

Some more from G K

1) "Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car."

2) "If there were no God, there would be no atheists."

3) "There are those who hate Christianity and call their hatred an all-embracing love for all religions."

4) "We fear men so much, because we fear God so little. One fear cures another. When man's terror scares you, turn your thoughts to the wrath of God."

5) "Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable."
 
6) "These are the days when the Christian is expected to praise every creed except his own."
7) "When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything."

Can I haz producer creditz?

My own tastes lean more toward Steven Wright and Larry the Cable Guy, but here are some music-related quotes I like.

"The room is the most important stop on the organ"
- J.S. Bach, ahead of his time on the subject of acoustics

"Room tuning is 70% speaker positioning, 25% acoustical control devices, and 5% EQ."
- Contemporary acoustician Bob Hodas

"There are two kinds of fools. One says-this is old and therefore good. The other says-this is new and therefore better."
- Bob Katz, from the bible of mastering, Mastering Audio

"Going back and forth between digital and analog is like pouring sand from one glass to another. The glass looks full, but why do I feel sand on the floor?"
- Bruce A. Miller

"Art is never finished, only abandoned"
Leonardo Da Vinci, who could have been talking about my SONAR projects

"If it's so critical about when and how to dither, how come no one can figure it out for themselves? People are always asking questions about it. If there's a big sonic difference between doing it right and doing it wrong, then how come people (engineers) can't even tell whether they're doing it right or wrong?"
- Scott Massey

"Our first album was recorded in a day, and our second album took even longer!"
- George Harrison

"Talking about music is like dancing about architecture"
- Frank Zappa (repeated by Martin Mull)

"Overproduction means throwing away what's right in a herculean effort to achieve a recording having nothing wrong."
- Bob Olhsson

"Life is a compromise. Fortunately, it's also a cereal."
- Jessie Sammler

 
"Well, to be perfectly honest - I'm absolutely sh1tting myself"
 
Stephen Hawking in 1999 after hearing about the impending Millenium Bug

"Et tu, Courtney?"
