You can't band together to fight without trust. And without trust, there was no hope.

Why did they come billions of miles just to stare at us? It's rude.

But hope is no less realistic than despair. It is still our choice whether to live in light or lie down in darkness.

Even the most sensitive person can get used to even the most insensitive thing. Cruelty isn’t a personality trait. Cruelty is a habit.

You know how sometimes you tell yourself that you have a choice, but really you don't have a choice? Just because there are alternatives doesn't mean they apply to you.

Sometimes in my tent, late at night, I think I can hear the stars scraping against the sky.

So often the monsters that crowd our minds are nothing more than the strange and thoroughly alien progeny of our own fearful fantasies.

As sensory experience junkies, we have been blinded to the majesty in the common.

I don't expect to live forever, but I do intend to hang on as long as possible.

The sense that my world is stable and stationary, that change will never come and that all will go on continuously as it is, is the nature of all delusion.

We women ought to put first things first. Why should we mind if men have their faces on the money, as long as we get our hands on it?

if you are perfectly willing to shock an individual verbally, the next thing you will be doing is to shock him practically.

I do Taekwondo and sometimes I paint.

Lord, bid war's trumpet cease; Fold the whole earth in peace.

We created computers as an extension of our brains, and now we're connecting through those computers and the Internet cloud as a way of expanding them.
