I have loved movies as the number one thing in my life so long that I can't ever remember a time when I didn't.

When you deplore the conditions in the world, ask yourself, am I part of the problem or part of the solution?

Nature abhors a vacuum.

Francois Rabelais

It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.

Leo Tolstoy

My pacifism is an instinctive feeling, a feeling that possesses me because the murder of men is disgusting. My attitude is not derived from any intellectual theory but is based on my deepest antipathy to every kind of cruelty and hatred.

Albert Einstein

It is, then, by those shadows of the hoary Past and their fantastic silhouettes on the external screen of every religion and philosophy, that we can, by checking them as we go along, and comparing them, trace out finally the body that produced them.

H. P. Blavatsky

If the world is to be understood, if we are to avoid such logical paradoxes when traveling at high speeds, there are some rules, commandments of Nature, that must be obeyed. Einstein codified these rules in the special theory of relativity. Light (reflected or emitted) from an object travels at the same velocity whether the object is moving or stationary: Thou shalt not add thy speed to the speed of light. Also, no material object may move faster than light: Thou shalt not travel at or beyond the speed of light. Nothing in physics prevents you from traveling as close to the speed of light as you like; 99.9 percent of the speed of light would be just fine. But no matter how hard you try, you can never gain that last decimal point. For the world to be logically consistent there must be a cosmic speed limit. Otherwise, you could get to any speed you wanted by adding velocities on a moving platform.

Carl Sagan

At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice, he is the worst.

Aristotle

They don't have intelligence. They have what I like to call 'thintelligence.' They see the immediate situation. They think narrowly and they call it 'being focused.' They don't see the surround. They don't see the consequences. That's how you get an island like this. From thintelligent thinking.

Michael Crichton

Even though I make those movies, I find myself wishing that more of those magic moments could happen in real life.

Jane Seymour

The repossession by women of our bodies will bring far more essential change to human society than the seizing of the means of production by workers.

Adrienne Rich

There was a door to which I found no key: There was the veil through which I might not see.

Omar Khayyam

If there is any delay in that feedback loop between thinking of something and seeing it and building on it, then there is this whole world of ideas which will never be.
