In movies and in television the robots are always evil. I guess I am not into the whole brooding cyberpunk dystopia thing.

Evil is done without effort, naturally, it is the working of fate; good is always the product of an art.

Charles Baudelaire

I can't just react on the strength of an email and three pages of synopsis, and say I'm going to take off for three months of my life.

Emmanuelle Beart

The main thing that gives me hope is the media. We have radio, TV, magazines, and books, so we have the possibility of learning from societies that are remote from us, like Somalia. We turn on the TV and see what blew up in Iraq or we see conditions in Afghanistan.

Jared Diamond

Young people are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel; and more fit for new projects than for settled business.

Francis Bacon

Sometimes stories are inherently important whether or not they have a direct relation to your life.

Linda Vester

Television has lifted the manufacture of banality out of the sphere of handicraft and placed it in that of a major industry.

Nathalie Sarraute

Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so.

Bertrand Russell

....hurts not just the heart, but every part.

Coco J. Ginger

Oxford is -- Oxford: not a mere receptacle for youth, like Cambridge. Perhaps it wants its inmates to love it rather than to love one another.

E. M. Forster

I could well believe that it is God's intention, since we have refused milder remedies, to compel usinto unity, by persecution even and hardship. Satan is without a doubt nothing else than a hammer in thehand of a benevolent and severe God. For all, either willingly or unwillingly, do the will of God:Judas and Satan as tools or instruments, John and Peter as sons.

C.S. Lewis

Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

We are becoming like cats, slyly parasitic, enjoying an indifferent domesticity. Nice and snug in the social, our historic passions have withdrawn into the glow of an artificial coziness, and our half-closed eyes now seek little other than the peaceful parade of television pictures.

Jean Baudrillard
