Quote of the Day (Laurence Sterne, on Error and Human Nature)

“The laws of nature will defend themselves;⁠—but error⁠…error, Sir, creeps in thro’ the minute holes and small crevices which human nature leaves unguarded.” —Anglo-Irish novelist and clergyman Laurence Sterne (1713-1768), The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (1759)

And these days, with all the attempts to make human labor obsolete, error creeps into AI, too. 

Quote of the Day (William Cullen Bryant, on Truth and Error)

“Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again;

 The eternal years of God are hers;

 But Error, wounded, writhes with pain,

 And dies among his worshippers.” —American poet/editor William Cullen Bryant (1794– 1878), “The Battle-Field” (1839)
