Summary

This quote speaks to the paradox of human nature, where as we navigate through the complexities of life, we often find ourselves growing more complicated and burdened. In contrast, the simple things in life, like the beauty of nature or the joy of a genuine smile, continue to exist and persist, blissfully oblivious to our increasing complexity. It reflects a sense of longing to recapture the simplicity and innocence we may have lost along the way, reminding us to appreciate the small pleasures that surround us amidst life's complexities.

Cats are autocrats of naked self-interest. They are both amoral and immoral, consciously breaking rules. Their evil look at such times is no human projection: the cat may be the only animal who savors the perverse or reflects upon it.

I'm the most inappropriate dad. I curse in front of my kids and their friends. I let my kids watch R-rated movies. I'll walk by the movie theater and say, 'Let's go see that,' and my kids will say, 'No, it's rated R. It's not appropriate for kids.' I'm like Uncle Dad. We have fun. I don't live with them, but I drive over four days a week.

The dissemination of advanced implantable technology will likely be just as ruthlessly democratic as the ailments it is destined to treat. Meaning that, someday soon, we may have a new class of very smart, very fast people - yesterday's disabled and elderly.

Liberty is a harsh mistress. You cannot pick and choose what

Liberty is a harsh mistress. You cannot pick and choose what you like and dislike about her. Liberty will not change her principles for you, no matter how much you claim to love her.

And when you hear that door slam, it will take every tear in your eye, every ounce of blood in your veins, and all the nerve in your heart to win her back.
