"That was my first instinct -- to protect him. It never occurred to me that there was a greater need to protect myself. Innocence always calls mutely for protection when we would be so much wiser to guard ourselves against it: innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm."

Graham Greene

"Computers were never designed in the first place to become musical instruments. Within a computer, everything is sterile - there's no sound, there's no air. It's totally code. Like with computer-generated effects in movies, you can create wonders. But it's really hard to create emotion."
Thomas Bangalter

"Without poets, without artists... Everything would fall apart into chaos. There would be no more seasons, no more civilizations, no more thought, no more humanity, no more life even; and impotent darkness would reign forever. Poets and artists together determine the features of their age, and the future meekly conforms to their edit."
Guillaume Apollinaire
"What a tremendous sin impatience is, he thinks. It blinds us to the moment before us, and it is only when that moment has passed that we look back, and see it was full of treasures."

Donald G. Firesmith
"Ah! The English language was a wonderful thing! You could always find the right word. He only wished he could speak the language."
Terry Jones
"Psychologists, for reasons of clinical necessity or vagaries of temperament, have chosen to dissect and catalog the morbid emotions - depression, anger, anxiety - and to leave largely unexamined the more vital, positive ones."
Kay Redfield Jamison
"To those who, in spite of everything, still choose goodness."
Marie Lu
"We undo ourselves by impatience. Misfortunes have their life and their limits their sickness and their health."
Michel de Montaigne
"Math is a Chaos and it doesn't have order <--- what's the purpose of it?"
