This section serves to capture quotations others have
asked me to publish for one reason or another. At best they are pithy
statements of some value, at worst they are ramblings that may lead us
down fruitless trails to be abandoned.
They represent statements that may lead to further
investigation, elaboration or, in some cases, substantiation and
justification. In a few cases I never meant them to go beyond their
initial utterance. It is best to consider them as either possible
abstracts or simple platitudes.
