Immanuel Kant

I've got some incredible fans actually - so loyal and they make me birthday cards and Christmas cards. I got this package of poems and artwork based around the songs.

Angie Stone

My incarceration was actually a positive thing from the beginning. I needed a gimmick to get my act going again, it gave me material.

Tommy Chong

Conventional people are roused to fury by departures from convention, largely because they regard such departures as a criticism of themselves.

Bertrand Russell

And I grew up on a steady diet of science fiction, especially apocalyptic and postapocalyptic fiction.

Justin Cronin
