I've been so entwined with technology since I was about 15, recording myself and multitracking and producing things on my own.

Simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds.

Remy de Gourmont

It's all about having fun and smiling and shaking hands.

Tone Loc

No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself.

Tilopa

Dullness in matters of government is a good sign, and not a bad one - in particular, dullness in parliamentary government is a test of its excellence, an indication of its success.

Walter Bagehot

The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry.

Bertrand Russell

There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.

Albert Camus

To preserve the freedom of the human mind and freedom of the press, every spirit should be ready to devote itself to martyrdom; for as long as we may think as we will, and speak as we think the condition of man will proceed in improvement. The generation which is going off the stage has deserved well of mankind for the struggles it has made, and for having arrested the course of despotism which had overwhelmed the world for thousands and thousands of years. If there seems to be danger that the ground they have gained will be lost again, that danger comes from the generation your contemporary. But that the enthusiasm which characterizes youth should lift its parricide hands against freedom and science would be such a monstrous phenomenon as I cannot place among possible things in this age and country.

Thomas Jefferson

I think imagination is at the heart of everything we do. Scientific discoveries couldn't have happened without imagination. Art, music, and literature couldn't exist without imagination. And so anything that strengthens imagination, and reading certainly does that, can help us for the rest of our lives.

Lloyd Alexander

No crime is so great as daring to excel.

Winston Churchill

How many people make themselves abstract to appear profound. The most useful part of abstract terms are the shadows they create to hide a vacuum.

Joseph Joubert

My mother was passionate. She was stubborn, the dominant one in the family. She dominated my father.

Hugh Leonard

There is, in world affairs, a steady course to be followed between an assertion of strength that is truculent and a confession of helplessness that is cowardly.

Dwight D Eisenhower
