Profound truth...
Nils Bohr said: "The opposite of a true statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may be another profound truth."
Take out the 'true or false' content of his statement and one is left essentially with:
"The opposite of a statement is another statement. But the opposite of a profound is another profound."
An interesting effect can be generated by hypothesising that a 'truth' is a 'true statement' (a philosophical point for another topic perhaps?):
"The opposite of a statement is another statement. But the opposite of a profound statement is another profound statement."
If we also take out the metaphor of 'opposite', we are left with:
"A statement is another statement. But a profound is another profound."
Finally if we replace "But" with "And":
"A statement is another statement. And a profound is another profound."
OR
"A statement is another statement. And a profound statement is another profound statement."
It gets existential quite quickly, doesn't it?
Any other famous quotations we could clean up for fun and profit?
