> GRAEME MOFFATT: [i]As Shakespeare might have written had the times been different - "There are more things in heaven and earth, Mr Dawkins, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hamlet was addressing Horatio, but the sentiment remains relevant even in the 21st century, when considering the dogmatic adherence of Dawkins and his acolytes to the belief that the physical world is all there is for us to wonder at.[/i]-A warm welcome to a fellow Shakespearian! If ever there was an example of the unfathomable capacity of the human mind, Will was it. In Hamlet versus Dawkins, I&apos;ll "make a solemn wager" on Hamlet.-One of my all-time favourite philosophy quotes (different context), which will certainly appeal to Matt&apos;s pragmatic side, is:-LEONATES:  For there was never yet philosopher            That could endure the toothache patiently.                                    ([i]Much Ado[/i], V, i)-(Note to Matt: The dream quote is great, but I don&apos;t recognize it. Definitely not the Bard, but worthy of him! Source, please.)
