"It takes so little to undermine public confidence in a man."
The Incredible Theft in Murder in the Mews (1937)
Agatha Christie
HarperCollins (2002)
"It takes so little to undermine public confidence in a man."
"A statesman in these days has a difficult task. He has to pursue the policy he deems advantageous to his country, but he has at the same time to recognize the force of popular feeling. Popular feeling is very often sentimental, muddle-headed, and eminently unsound, but it cannot be disregarded for all that."

Nuestra ciudad es tan benévola que premia cualquier representación teatral con una tempestuosa ovación.
Recentment la BBC ha llençat en DVD una altra aventura del primer Doctor Who de la història, encarnat per William Hartnell. The Gunfighters (Els pistolers).La mentira gratuita no es mentira: es poesía.
- Ha cometido usted una burda falta ideológica.
- ¿?
- Usted enumera los países...
- Pero ¿no se puede?
- Se puede y se debe. La cuestión es cómo los enumera. En qué orden: Dinamarca, Finlandia, Hungría; luego: Polonia, RDA, RFA...
- Claro, por orden alfabético.
- Ése es un orden desclasado - gimotea Turonok-; pero existe un orden de hierro: los países demócratas ¡delante!; después los neutrales; y por último los miembros del bloque capi...
- ¿No creieu, Mr. Parrot, que qualsevol creença dogmàtica condueix a un ser estret d'idees?
"There are also unexpected side effects from cross-fertilisation among fields. For example, incorporating mathematics in biology has a huge influence on how research is conducted. The more mathematics, the more thinking goes on before scientists hit the labs with experiments. And this means less experimenting. Not only does this lead to less resources being used- both environmental and animal-rights activists might like to change some of the focus of their picketing and protesting. Instead of being anti this or anti that, there's the option of being pro-mathematics. Lobbying governments to increase mathematics funding to save animals. That makes sense to me. And focusing on something positive always gives a better impression. There also the selling point that a cure for AIDS or cancer may pop out in the process."
"How much prouder could mathematicians be?"
Abans de trobar el carrer principal, una moderna desviació del traçat de la carretera deixava la població unes tres milles al nord de la remor del trànsit, amb la qual cosa havia conservat un aire de tronada dignitat i quietud. El carrer Major i l'ampla plaça del mercat semblaven dir: "Una vegada vaig ser un indret important, i per a qualsevol persona amb seny i bona criança continuo sent-ho. Deixa que l'eixelebrat món modern s'estavelli enllà de la seva carretera acabada d'estrenar; a mi em construïren per perdurar, quan el civisme i el bon gust anaven de bracet.
"Excuse me, I've been really into mathematics lately, and I can take you to infinity whenever you're ready, baby"
"(...) one of the breath-taking sides of mathematics: that which might appear as the most abstract, brain-stretching, obscure notion, ends up being crucial to something unthought of and incredibly practical on a daily basis. (...)
It really teaches you to never dismiss any ida as being useless-you just never know. Sometimes it takes thousands of years before an idea has matured enough for it to be used to its full potential. "
So couples who continually repair their relationship end up feeling the most positive about their marriage. It appears high standards are good because they work as as goals couples can reach for. This may seem counterintuitive. You might think that if your marriage is in a constant state of repari then maybe it is seriously flawed, or that high standards associated with the willingness to whinge would be more overwhelming than helpful-but not so.
D'altra banda Doctor Who no es només una simple sèrie de televisió més. És la sèrie de televisió amb més capítuls de la història, i la que més anys porta en antena (48). És una série de culte, que si bé és menys coneguda que Star Trek, ocupa un lloc molt més important en els annals de la televisió, la ràdio, la literatura...
Sometimes mathematics is referred to as a language. And ideed it is. Patterns lend themselves to language-like representation. That's the gobbledygook on the blackboard. But language is not merely a collection of words, or symbols or gestures. Language is a means of communication. It is a vessel for conveying concepts. You can choose from a number of vessels. Poems captures things that can't quite be expressed in standard writing, and vice versa. Sometimes music or a song works better, sometimes a dance, a painting or a sculpture. Sometimes a performance artist will feel that hanging themselves on fishhooks from a beam is the only way they can express something deeply felt. This only goes to show how innate and important communications is to us.
