If you play bridge badly you make your partner suffer, but if you play poker badly you make everybody happy.

You've got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.

Bono

It's time to let science and medicine, not politics and rhetoric, lead us to good, sound policy.

Eliot Spitzer

Power is not a means; it is an end....Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself....The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy - everything.... No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends....We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science.... There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always - do not forget this, Winston - always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless....If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.

George Orwell, 1984

The rise of Google, the rise of Facebook, the rise of Apple, I think are proof that there is a place for computer science as something that solves problems that people face every day.

Eric Schmidt

History does nothing it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.

Karl Marx

The trials on the road to world harmony are no greater than the courage of those who accept the challenge.

Carl Lewis

I think that everyone at any age should ask themselves, 'where do I want to be today, where do I want to be tomorrow, and where do I want to be in a hundred years?' We all have clear answers to those questions. We only have so much time. It's a real shame if we don't spend our lives trying to do that.

Jack Antonoff

We all know our duty better than we discharge it.

John Randolph

A relationship requires a lot of work and commitment.

Greta Scacchi

I just yesterday returned from a trip where I photographed a woman with two children whom I photographed first when she was the age of the older of the two children.

Jock Sturges

I've never understood how God could expect His creatures to pick the one true religion by faith - it strikes me as a sloppy way to run a universe.

Robert A. Heinlein, Jubal Harsha

The body is an amazing machine... If you eat the right things your body will perform incredibly well!
