«A restless soul burns through the coldest night.»
«Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.»
«Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.»
«It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.»
«Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.»
«The greatest enemy of any one of our truths may be the rest of our truths.»
«An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.»
«I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.»
«It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.»
«The big trouble with dumb bastards is that they are too dumb to believe there is such a thing as being smart.»
«Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.»
«It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.»
«When in doubt, do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.»
«He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce.»
«All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why.»
«What we do suggest is that he human race might easily permit itself to drift into a position of such dependence on the machines that it would have no practical choice but to accept all of the machines decisions. As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and machines become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more of their decision for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better result than man-made ones. Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People won't be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide.»
«The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.»
«Women govern us; let us render them perfect. The more they are enlightened, so much the more shall we be. On the cultivation of the mind of women depends the wisdom of men. It is by women that nature writes on the hearts of men.»
«The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: It is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.»
«I believe everybody in the world should have guns. Citizens should have bazookas and rocket launchers too. I believe that all citizens should have their weapons of choice. However, I also believe that only I should have the ammunition. Because frankly, I wouldn't trust the rest of the goobers with anything more dangerous than string.»
«Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.»
«That which can be destroyed by the truth, should be.»
«It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.»
«It is right that we ask people to accept each of the things which are said in the same way: for it is the mark of an educated person to search for the same kind of clarity in each topic to the extent that the nature of the matter accepts it.»
«You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realise that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing.»
«No mind, however loving, could bear to see plainly into all the recesses of another mind.»
«The best proof of love is trust.»
«Good, fast, cheap. Pick two.»
