So many books, so little time.
Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.
I think it is good that books still exist, but they do make me sleepy.
Don't mind your make-up, you'd better make your mind up.
Anything played wrong twice in a row is the beginning of an arrangement.
Anybody who wants religion is welcome to it, as far as I'm concerned--I support your right to enjoy it. However, I would appreciate it if you exhibited more respect for the rights of those people who do not wish to share your dogma, rapture, or necrodestination.
A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open.
It would be easier to pay off the national debt overnight than to neutralize the long-range effects of our national stupidity

I believe that people have a right to decide their own destiny; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only as long as) individual citizens give it a "temporary license to exist" - in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself.

Along with this comes a responsibility to ensure that individual actions, in the pursuit of a personal destiny, do not threaten the well-being of others while the "pursuit" is in progress.

In a fight between you and the world, pick the world
