Two million years from now the scientists can start a row by claming that the creatures of that period descended from us.

I wrote seven Myron Bolitar novels in a row, and I never want to write a Myron book where he just solves a crime. Every one of them I want to be personal, and I want him to grow and change. The problem with that is, it makes the series limited, you can't write a series where a guy is always going through some kind of crisis.

Harlan Coben

Zoroaster

The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.

Albert Ellis

When did the future switch from being a promise to a threat?

Chuck Palahniuk

I've been to war, and it's not easy to kill. It's bloody and messy and totally horrifying, and the consequences are serious.

Oliver Stone

The hungry world cannot be fed until and unless the growth of its resources and the growth of its population come into balance. Each man and woman-and each nation --must make decisions of conscience and policy in the face of this great problem.

Lyndon B. Johnson

I believe that the measure of my soul is my capacity to love imperfect people.

Joseph Grenny

The result of what Kennedy did can be understood by analogy. It is as if he created a building named, 'A man on the moon in ten years,' and inside the building he put offices for all the various ideas, positions, notions and people that had to do with space flight. The first office inside the front door of the building in 1961 would have been called, 'it can't be done.' This office would have been inhabited by the skeptics and the cynics.A content or position is threatened by any opposite position. Given two opposing positions, only one can survive. On the other hand, a context gives space to, it literally allows, it even encourages, positions that are apparently the opposite. In fact, the most important position in a newly-created context is the position which appears to oppose the context.

Werner Erhard

There is no success you can celebrate more than the success of a brother.

Diego Luna

I think complexity is mostly sort of crummy stuff that is there because it's too expensive to change the interface.

Jaron Lanier

Any man who does not see everything in terms of self, that is to say who wants to be something in respect of other men, to do good to them or simply give them something to do, is unhappy, disconsolate, and accursed.

Edmond de Goncourt
