I think what we need to do is we need to seek some other way in which to do what is potentially good work by Google. Google has made the world a better place in some ways.

...there's no reason why scholarship can't be as seriously playful as bubble-blowing.

We are not evolved really very well to be able to understand or to be able to work with and grapple with technologies that we have.

I think that as a society as well, we need to be smart about what technologies we take up and how construe progress.

I select my technology based on what I need and I also don't take up what I don't feel that I need.

I don't know whether what I do is art. But making things out in the world and having as many conversations as possible.

I don't have a cell phone. I am not a Luddite.

[Buckminster] Fuller said that everything at the time was basically a horse and buggy in the form of an automobile and it had that boxiness and basically aeronautics hadn't been invented.

I'm not especially interested in the job of the historian or journalist of trying to figure out what was true and what was not.

You have the insanity that is geo-engineering which is a case in which you say the planet is heating up. Let's spray some aerosol and cool it down.

The loveliest of trees the cherry now is hung with bloom along the bough and stands about the woodland ride wearing white for Eastertide.

If you, like, consciously think about being cool, you're not cool. If you consciously think about being, like, different or original, you ain't different or original.

From day one when you're singing, you're dreaming about making that first album and making your break into whatever music you want to break into.

You can hide beneath the covers and study your pain, make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain. Waste your summer praying in vain, for a savior to rise from these streets.

I wasn't looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business, so I was never interested in that world.

I know I'm going to get in trouble!

Faultless in spite of all her faults.

You'd think one day we'd learn. You don't get anything unless you fight for it, united and with visible numbers. If ACT UP taught us anything, it taught us that.

I will always dance in the street.

The spiritual mind is always metaphorical. Spiritual thinking is poetic thinking. It's always trying to put a very diaphanous experience into words, realizing all the while that words are inadequate.
