how does this go?
 

Silly thing really, but its annoying me.

I once saw a joke in the form of graffiti. It started...

e=mc2 Einstein) and ended...

shoo be do be doo (Sinatra)

but what where the intervening stages of slight alteration to get there?

My memory tells me it was really funny, i really hope it is worth while when i find out!!

I saw that too...it was more like this;

To do is to be - (can't remember the name)

To be is to do - (can't remember the name)

Do be do be do - Sinatra

To do is to be (Socrates)

To be is to do (Sartre)

OOh be doo be doo (Sinatra)

It's a famous piece of graffiti.

Thanx OF...I knew someone around here more literate than I would be able to pull the correct names out of his hat...glad it was you ;)

Thinking back, I believe my confusion about the names was due to the fact that I saw the grafitti in a restroom at the local upscale university, & underneath it someone else had started a debate about who had said what...typical Vandy student behavior...

Oooooo. :)

i thought "to be is to do" was aristotle... :confused:

but then wikipedia has it as this:

To be is to be--Sartre; To be is to do--Aristotle; To be or not to be--Shakespear; Do be do be do--Sinatra

http://quotes.prolix.nu/Philosophy/ will however tell you "to do is to be" is Voltaire..."to be is to do" is Descartes...and for some reason has Edgar Allen Poe listed as a philosopher?? :confused:

ty folks... its been killing me!!
