There's a big overlap with the people you meet at the fantasy and science fiction cons.

Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If its individual citizens, to a man, are to be believed, it always is depressed, and always is stagnated, and always is at an alarming crisis, and never was otherwise; though as a body, they are ready to make oath upon the Evangelists, at any hour of the day or night, that it is the most thriving and prosperous of all countries on the habitable globe.

Charles Dickens

Vanity is as ill at ease under indifference as tenderness is under a love which it cannot return...

George Eliot

Love, with very young people, is a heartless business. We drink at that age from thirst, or to get drunk; it is only later in life that we occupy ourselves with the individuality of our wine.

Isak Dinesen

How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking.

Dr. David Schwartz

I don't need my phone to play me music. I need it to be a phone and an e-mail thing.

David Duchovny

What art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee Benvolio, look upon thy death.

William Shakespeare

Marriage hasn't been my thing. But gay people, knock yourselves out!

Ben Affleck

I hope to die in the saddle seat.

Albert Ellis

I think from my experience in war and life and science, it all has made me believe that we have one life on this planet. We have one chance to live it and to contribute to the future of society and the future of life. The only afterlife is what other people remember of you.

Craig Venter

Self-denial is not a virtue, it is only the effect of prudence on rascality.

George Bernard Shaw

There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.

Henry Ford
