#trivia

"Science is an organized pursuit of triviality.Art is a casual pursuit of significance.Let's keep it in perspective."

"Game shows are designed to make us feel better about the random, useless facts that are all we have left of our education."

"I do not think he (Chester Arthur) knows anything. He can quote a verse from poetry or a page from Dickens or Thackeray, but these are only leaves springing from a root out of dry ground. His vital forces are not fed,and very soon he has given out his all."

"Trivia are not knowledge. Lists of facts don't comprise knowledge. Analyzing, hypothesizing, concluding from data, sharing insights, those comprise knowledge. You can't google for knowledge."
