Amazingly when you add life and consciousness to the equation you can actually explain some of the biggest puzzles of science.

The present is never our goal: the past and present are our means: the future alone is our goal. Thus, we never live but we hope to live; and always hoping to be happy, it is inevitable that we will never be so.

Blaise Pascal

We can choose a future where we export more products and outsource fewer jobs. After a decade that was defined by what we bought and borrowed, we're getting back to basics, and doing what America has always done best: We're making things again.

Courage is the greatest of all virtues, because if you haven't courage, you may not have an opportunity to use any of the others.

Samuel Johnson

Any writer, I suppose, feels that the world into which he was born is nothing less than a conspiracy against the cultivation of his talent.

James Baldwin

The Lord took twice the time making thee, Alvin Smith, cause it took that long to put the mischief in.

Orson Scott Card

God is the same everywhere.

Leo Tolstoy

Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken...

Evanescence

A myriad of men are born; they labor and sweat and struggle; ...they squabble and scold and fight; they scramble for little mean advantages over each other; age creeps upon them; infirmities follow; ...those they love are taken from them, and the joy of life is turned to aching grief. It comes at last--the only unpoisoned gift earth ever had for them--and they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence, ...a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever.

Mark Twain, Chapters from My Aut

I've had fans come and knock on my door. I'm usually polite, but I'm usually very direct and say, 'It's not cool that you come here uninvited.'

Gary Allan
