Quote by Bill Maher

Things aren't right. If a burglar breaks into your home and you shoot him, he can sue you. For what, restraint of trade?

Summary

This quote riffs on the notion of absurdity in the legal system. It highlights the speaker's disbelief by using a burglary scenario to illustrate a perceived flaw in the legal realm: the possibility of a burglar suing the homeowner for defending their own property by shooting the intruder. The speaker sarcastically questions the potential grounds for a legal complaint, suggesting that this hypothetical scenario represents an unreasonable outcome and challenges the idea of justice in certain legal circumstances.

Vader: "There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you. Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You've only begun to discover your power! Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict, and bring order to the galaxy." Luke: "I'll never join you!" Vader: "If only you knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father." Luke: "He told me enough. He told me you killed him." Vader: "No. I am your father.

The strongest knowledge (that of the total freedom of the human will) is nonetheless the poorest in successes: for it always has the strongest opponent, human vanity.

Universities are of course hostile to geniuses, which, seeing and using ways of their own, discredit the routine: as churches and monasteries persecute youthful saints.

Sa-ti descoperi rostul in viata reprezinta totul.Te asigur ca si tu ai ceva cu care sa contribui la viata din jurul tau.S-ar putea sa nu stii inca despre ce este vorba,dar nu ai fi pe pamant daca nu ai avea rostul tau.Stiu sigur ca Dumnezeu nu face greseli,insa face miracole.Eu sunt una dintre ele.Si tu la fel.

Man spends his life in reasoning on the past, in complaining of the present, in fearing future.

I'm famous by default. I came out of the womb, and people wanted to know who I was because of my parents.

What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence, a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.

I'm always trying to reach a transcendent point, a romantic point, but reach it in a really unconventional way, a really profane way. To get to that romantic, touching, heartbreaking place, but through a lot of acts of profanity.

God is the Unique, and he is so perfect that he does not res

God is the Unique, and he is so perfect that he does not resemble any of the things that exist or any of the things that do not; you cannot describe him using your human intelligence, as if he were someone who becomes angry if you are bad or worries about you out of goodness, someone who has a mouth, ears, face, wings, or that is spirit, father or son, not even of himself. Of the Unique you cannot say he is or is not, he embraces all but is nothing; you can name him only through dissimilarity, because it is futile to call him Goodness, Beauty, Wisdom, Amiability, Power, Justice, it would be like calling him Bear, Panther, Serpent, Dragon, or Gryphon, because whatever you say of him you will never express him. God is not body, is not figure, is not form; he does not see, does not hear, does not know disorder and perturbation; he is not soul, intelligence, imagination, opinion, thought, word, number, order, size; he is not equality and is not inequality, is not time and is not eternity; he is a will without purpose. Try to understand, Baudolino: God is a lamp without flame, a flame without fire, a fire without heat, a dark light, a silent rumble, a blind flash, a luminous soot, a ray of his own darkness, a circle that expands concentrating on its own center, a solitary simplicity; he is...is... She paused, seeking an example that would convince them both, she the teacher and he the pupil. He is a space that is not, in which you and I are the same thing, as we are today in this time that doesn't flow.

Umberto Eco, Baudolino

We have defined art as the life form and aesthetic art as the life renewal: the stimulating, animating, agitating, inspiring, inspirational, fermenting, fascinating fanaticising, explosive and outrageous: the renewal of the unknown.

If they had said my writing wasn't good enough, fair enough, that's an opinion. But to say it's too complex is to insult the intelligence of the so-called young.
