Octavia Butler

I think there's been a decline in the public's access to what's being done with their tax dollars, what's being done in their name. I hope that that will be repaired.

Bill Keller

Aldous Huxley

I love westerns. I've always wanted to do a western.

Patrick Warburton

Nature does nothing uselessly.

Aristotle

Truth is a good dog; but always beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out.

Francis Bacon

You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.

Barbra Streisand

If you mean to make your side of the argument appear plausible, do not prejudice the people against what you think truth by your passionate manner of defending it.
