I was looking for something like baseball, where there's a lot of data and the competition was pretty low. That's when I discovered politics.

Based on the law of probability Everything is possible because The sheer existence of possibility Confirms the existence Of impossibility.

Dejan Stojanovic

Talk is cheap - except when Congress does it.

I have a map of the United States...actual size. It says, Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile. I spent last summer folding it. I also have a full size map of the world. I hardly ever unroll it.

Steven Wright

Since my education, I've done quite untraditional things. There are very few Etonians who went to Rada. And far fewer Etonians - certainly when I was there - went to Cambridge. I don't know whether it's the same now. Most people I knew went to Oxford, because it seemed more of an easy bridge.

Tom Hiddleston

Philosophy offers the rather cold consolation that perhaps we and our planet do not actually exist; religion presents the contradictory and scarcely more comforting thought that we exist but that we cannot hope to get anywhere until we cease to exist. Alcohol, in attempting to resolve the contradiction, produces vivid patterns of Truth which vanish like snow in the morning sun and cannot be recalled; the revelations of poetry are as wonderful as a comet in the skies -- and as mysterious. Love, which was once believed to contain the Answer, we now know to be nothing more than an inherited behavior pattern.

James Thurber

There are two kinds of cloning right now. One is therapeutic cloning which is for coming up with cures for life threatening, really, really awful diseases. Then there is reproductive cloning, which is to make a human being out of your DNA and a donor egg.

Mary Tyler Moore

But every time our ability to access information and to communicate it to others is improved, in some sense we have achieved an increase over natural intelligence.

Vernor Vinge

In every man's writings, the character of the writer must lie recorded.

Thomas Carlyle

Troubles impending always seem worse than troubles surmounted, but this does not prove that they really are.

Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.

Love is the delusion that one man or woman differs from another.

H. L. Mencken

Truth to me was dead, God had never lived, life was full of pain, and death was the end of life. As a young Atheist, I sincerely believed that man had created God to fill the gaps in knowledge that would never be spanned by experience, reason, or science. In 1983 the God who pursues those who deny him interrupted my existence, he captured my soul with raw love. Two decades later, God's tangible friendship still amazes me. To deny his existence I'd have to first deny my own.

I love Vegas. It's like going to Disneyland.
