"The foolish man conceives the idea of 'self.' The wise man sees there is no ground on which to build the idea of 'self;' thus, he has a right conception of the world and well concludes that all compounds amassed by sorrow will be dissolved again, but the truth will remain."

"The rationale that etiquette should be eschewed because it fosters inequality does not ring true in a society that openly admits to a feverish interest in the comparative status-conveying qualities of sneakers. Manners are available to all, for free."
Judith Martin
"Fear prophets, Adso, and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them."
Umberto Eco
"The nature of the universe probably depends heavily on who is the actual protagonist. Lately I've been suspecting it's one of my cats."

"The idea would be in my mind - and I know it sounds strange - is that the most important advances in medicine would be made not by new knowledge in molecular biology, because that's exceeding what we can even use. It'll be made by mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, figuring out a way to get all that information together."
Patrick Soon-Shiong
"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
"Secrets are never so dangerous as when they've been forgotten."
Natalie C. Parker
"I'm about to start reading it again, because what good is a story you only want to read once?"
Bill Willingham
"When it is dark enough you can see the stars."
Charles A. Beard
