People of art should never get married and have children, because it's a selfish experience.

When humor goes, there goes civilization.

Our ideal is to make her ever stronger and better and finer, because in that way alone, as we believe, can she be of the greatest service to the world's peace and to the welfare of mankind.

Henry Cabot Lodge

I have visualizations where I'm living in a really cool place - probably outside of town - with a really dope studio where I can record music or film things. Just have my own mini production house. That's really the thing I'd love to end up with the most and only do gigs when I needed to and also amass a little bit of a crew around me.

Reggie Watts

The average Ph.D. thesis is nothing, but the transference of bones from one graveyard to another.

Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention aand innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared. Unlike any other creature on this planet, humans can learn and understand, without having experienced. They can think themselves into other people's minds, imagine themselves into other people's places.And many prefer not to exercise their imaginations at all. They choose to remain comfortably within the bounds of their own experience, never troubling to wonder how it would feel to have been born other than they are. They can close their minds and hearts to any suffering that does not touch them personally; they can refuse to know.

J.K. Rowling

If it is nothingness that awaits us, let us make an injustice of it let us fight against destiny, even though without hope of victory.

Miguel de Unamuno

They don't like thinking in medical school. They memorize - that's all they want you to do. You must not think.

John Backus

Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing.
