Hi, Aphaia. In general, I dislike linking to non-existing wikipedia articles. Could you explain your rationale for linking to them? Especially since it's not obvious the link is "red". ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 06:46, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I am not sure for now why I did so, but perhaps in purpose of checking if WP has his article. And supposedly left it. Sorry for my bad editing. --Aphaia 09:33, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Not original

I've removed the following aphorism that existed long before Mr. Ziman wrote it down:

• A philosopher is a person who knows less and less about more and more, until he knows nothing about everything.☃☃A scientist is a person who knows more and more about less and less, until he knows everything about nothing.
