Human Moods - Confusion
Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems, in my opinion, to
characterize our age.
Albert Einstein
On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the
machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly
to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
Charles Babbage
Sixty minutes of thinking of any kind is bound to lead to confusion and
unhappiness.
James Thurber
The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed
in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And
that, of course, causes great confusion.
Doris Lessing
