Never regret on something you can fix.

I'm quite aware of my differences. I wouldn't classify them as weird.

We tend to teach mathematics as a long list of rules.You learn them in order and you have to obey them, because if you don't obey them you get a C-.This is not mathematics. Mathematics is the study if things that come out a certain way because there is no other way they could possibly be.

Cynicism can blind one to subtler virtues.

For being different, it’s easy. But to be unique, it’s a complicated thing.

I believe in integrity. Dogs have it. Humans are sometimes lacking it.

We get the worrywart, the hypochondriac, the money-grubbing miser, the intractable negotiator... Some would say certain of these refer to the stereotypical, or 'stage' Jew. But objectively speaking, the only crime in humor is an unfunny joke.

Believe nothing until it has been officially denied.

Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it's the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself. ...Science fiction is central to everything we've ever done, and people who make fun of science fiction writers don't know what they're talking about.

To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.

When a woman is full of cockiness, I wonder what makes her so insecure. When a man is full of ego, I wonder what he's holding onto.

I have a body, an emotional body and a mental body, but I am none of these. I am nothing and everything. I am an indivisible particle of oneness that can no longer be categorised.

Being understanding is a curse because even if they hurt you,they are convinced 'you will understand.

Royal Young's writing is that rare blend of irony and beauty.

Desires occur because pratyakhyan [resolutions to not repeat the mistake] were not done. It comes in the memory because pratikraman [repentances] were not done.

And then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.

Follow your own morality but never forget to be kind. Kindness is always better than morality.

Gardening is the handiest excuse for being a philosopher. Nobody guesses, nobody accuses, nobody knows, but there you are, Plato in the peonies, Socrates force-growing his own hemlock. A man toting a sack of blood manure across his lawn is kin to Atlas letting the world spin easy on his shoulder.

There's nothing more stubborn than a fact. That is why you hate them so much. They offend you.

We must reject the lie of materialism. Your STUFF, does not dictate Your STATURE.
