The thing that got me started on the science that I've been building now for about 20 years or so was the question of okay, if mathematical equations can't make progress in understanding complex phenomena in the natural world, how might we make progress?

I love going to the set every day, because Noah Wylie will be there waiting.

Don't put people down, unless it's on your prayer list.

Stan Michalski

The gambling known as business looks with austere disfavor upon the business known as gambling.

Ambrose Bierce

Touched by her fingers, the two surviving chocolate people copulate desperately, losing themselves in a melting frenzy of lust, spending the last of their brief borrowed lives in a spasm of raspberry cream and fear.

Neil Gaiman

Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.

Bertolt Brecht

The priests say that God created our souls, and that just puts us under the control of another puppeteer. If God created our will, then he's responsible for every choice we make.

Orson Scott Card

I envy the happiness of others... I envy the sense of belonging... I seem always to be remaking myself.

Richard Eyre

The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

Albert Einstein

Social media is something of a double-edged sword. At its best, social media offers unprecedented opportunities for marginalized people to speak and bring much needed attention to the issues they face. At its worst, social media also offers 'everyone' an unprecedented opportunity to share in collective outrage without reflection.

Roxane Gay

You can buy a person's time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of their skilled muscular motions per hour. But you can not buy enthusiasm... you can not buy loyalty. You can not buy the devotion of hearts, minds, or souls. You must earn these.

Clarence Francis

History is little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.

Edward Gibbon

I wish you well and so I take my leave, I Pray you know me when we meet again.

William Shakespeare
