What is this world? what asketh men to have? Now with his love, now in his colde grave Allone, withouten any compaignye.

Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they're doing and saying in films right now just shouldn't be allowed. There's no dignity anymore and I think that's very important.

I have made it a rule of my life to trust a man long after other people gave him up, but I don't see how I can ever trust any human being again.

I'm like a really goofy home ec teacher.

Alton Brown

So it's been a slow process and it's taken some patience. That's why patients are called patients I think - patience is required.

Bowie Kuhn

It is the people who scream the loudest about America and Freedom who see to be the most intolerant for a differing point of view.

I think I have a very good idea why it is that anti-Semitism is so tenacious and so protean and so enduring. Christianity and Islam, theistic though they may claim to be, are both based on the fetishizing of human primates: Jesus in one case and Mohammed in the other. Neither of these figures can be called exactly historical but both have one thing in common even in their quasi-mythical dimension. Both of them were first encountered by the Jews. And the Jews, ravenous as they were for any sign of the long-sought Messiah, were not taken in by either of these two pretenders, or not in large numbers or not for long.If you meet a devout Christian or a believing Muslim, you are meeting someone who would give everything he owned for a personal, face-to-face meeting with the blessed founder or prophet. But in the visage of the Jew, such ardent believers encounter the very figure who have such a precious moment, and who spurned the opportunity and turned shrugging aside. Do you imagine for a microsecond that such a vile, churlish transgression will ever be ? I myself certainly hope that it will not. The Jews have seen through Jesus and Mohammed. In retrospect, many of them have also seen through the mythical, primitive, and cruel figures of Abraham and Moses. Nearer to our own time, in the bitter combats over the work of Marx and Freud and Einstein, Jewish participants and protagonists have not been the least noticeable. May this always be the case, whenever any human primate sets up, or is set up by others, as a Messiah.

Christopher Hitchens

I like to think the movies that I've picked have something worthwhile to say. Something relevant.

Mark Ruffalo

Globalization was a deep trend pushed by technology and right ideas, as much as anything else.
