In the colorful reflection we have what is life.

Truth never hurts the teller.

Robert Browning

Once a new technology rolls over you, if you're not part of the steamroller, you're part of the road.

Stewart Brand

My political ideas and things like that, even my religion, I try to keep close to me because it's a personal thing, and I don't shove it down people's throats. I don't condemn any artist that wants to do that, like the Baldwins. That's their choice. But in my world, I'm just an entertainer.

Donny Osmond

Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories.

Arthur C. Clarke

We achieve active mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.

Thomas Szasz

The present is the only reality and the only certainty.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity I do not understand it myself any more.

Albert Einstein

IT is mere coincidence that Cooper was born in the year which produced The Power of Sympathy and that when he died Uncle Tom's Cabin was passing through its serial stage, and yet the limits of his life mark almost exactly the first great period of American fiction.

Carl Clinton Van Doren

I love change, I need it.

Rod Stewart

The devil's name is dullness.

General Robert E. Lee

People are all exactly alike. There's no such thing as a race and barely such a thing as an ethnic group. If we were dogs, we'd be the same breed. George Bush and an Australian Aborigine have fewer differences than a Lhasa apso and a toy fox terrier. A Japanese raised in Riyadh would be an Arab. A Zulu raised in New Rochelle would be an orthodontist. People are all the same, though their circumstances differ terribly.

P. J. O'Rourke, Holidays in Hell

When I listen to music these days, and I hear Pro Tools and drums that sound like a machine - it kinda sucks the life out of music.

Dave Grohl
