Pedantic Quotations

Arthur Schopenhauer

Nothing is as peevish and pedantic as men's judgments of one another.
Desiderius Erasmus

'Tis well enough for a servant to be bred at an University. But the education is a little too pedantic for a gentleman.
William Congreve

I believe that science fiction is as profound as you want it to be or it can be very simple entertainment, and I'm all for very simple entertainment. Every now and then we all need to come home, veg-out, watch something and not think too deeply about it. It's what you want it to be. We tend to steer clear of being pedantic; it's entertainment first, otherwise we'd be on a lecture circuit.
Joe Flanigan

A good designer must rely on experience, on precise, logic thinking; and on pedantic exactness. No magic will do.
Niklaus Wirth
