I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is inprobably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it-or my observation of it-is temporary?

Before I speak, I have something important to say.

Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn't be happy if I were home all the time.

Meryl Streep

Facts are the most important thing in business. Study facts and do more than is expected of you.

The robot is going to lose. Not by much. But when the final score is tallied, flesh and blood is going to beat the damn monster.

Adam Smith
