A few good quotes.. know who said them?

These are just a few quotes that I have collected over the years. See if you know who said them. Could be: Aristotle, Douglas Adams, Daniel C. Dennett, Euripides, Eleanor Roosevelt, Henry Kissinger, Immanuel Kant, Socrates, Bertrand Russell ( Read more... )

...as I'm 90% confident these are all the right answers, unless we're both making a mistake regarding an incorrect common attribution.

1) Aristotle
2) Henry Kissinger
3) Dan C. Dennet, from Darwin's Dangerous Idea -- that book leaves an impression on anyone who reads it.
4)Douglas Adams
5)Euripidies
6)Elanore Roosevelt
7)Socrates
8)Plato, though its not a far cry from Edmund Burke's commentaries on the French Revolution
9)Bertrand Russell
10) Immanuel Kant

..the part of the achievement I'm proudest of, was this was all before caffine this morning. I almost flipped the Kant and Aristotle ones, until I remembered Aristotle wasn't so science-centered.
