Everyone gets their rough day. No one gets a free ride. Today so far, I had a good day. I got a dial tone.

Progress is not an illusion, it happens, but it is slow and invariably disappointing.

George Orwell

All theory, dear friend, is gray, but the golden tree of life springs ever green.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.

Albert Einstein

Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.

Phil Jackson

Why, if one wants to compare life to anything, one must liken it to being blown through the Tube at fifty miles an hour--landing at the other end without a single hairpin in one's hair! Shot out at the feet of God entirely naked! Tumbling head over heels in the asphodel meadows like brown paper parcels pitched down a shoot in the post office! With one's hair flying back like the tail of a race-horse. Yes, that seems to express the rapidity of life, the perpetual waste and repair; all so casual, all so haphazard...But after life. The slow pulling down of thick green stalks so that the cup of the flower, as it turns over, deluges one with purple and red light. Why, after all, should one not be born there as one is born here, helpless, speechless, unable to focus one's eyesight, groping at the roots of the grass, at the toes of the Giants?

Virginia Woolf

The beauty of having a producer is that you have someone who says, You're finished.

Sheryl Crow

There is nothing more real than this, nothing more terrible. Be we as heroic as we like, that is the end which awaits the noblest life in the world. Let us reflect on this and then say whether it is not beyond doubt that there is no good in this life

Blaise Pascal

The idea that information can be stored in a changing world without an overwhelming depreciation of its value is false. It is scarcely less false than the more plausible claim that after a war we may take our existing weapons, fill their barrels with information.

Norbert Wiener

To the lover of wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world.

John Muir

I have invented an invaluable permanent invalid called Bunbury, in order that I may be able to go down into the country whenever I choose.

Oscar Wilde

Looking back, video game design seems a natural fit, although there was no such thing when I was growing up. I built a Tic-Tac-Toe playing machine in my teens which went up in smoke on the night it was scheduled to go to a science fair.

David Crane

When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.

Jimi Hendrix
