There is one thing I would break up over, and that is if she caught me with another woman. As I won't stand for that kind of personal space intrusion.

~ Steve Martin

No doubt exists that all women are crazy; it's only a question of degree.

~ W. C. Fields

Aim high Willis.

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity

I have great faith in fools - self-confidence my friends will call it

I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom

Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear

Sleep, those little slices of death — how I loathe them

All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry

The best things in life make you sweaty

I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago

Rick: "Hello camper, my name is Rick how are you doing?"

Eric: "Well, I'm pissed off Rick, how are you?"

Rick: "I'm doing great, why don't you come out and we'll get your orientated?"

For your viewing pleasure

Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution.

We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

We have made remarkable progress in the last hundred years, but if we want to continue, our future is in space.

It's clearly possible for a something to acquire higher intelligence than its ancestors: we evolved to be smarter than our ape-like ancestors, and Einstein was smarter than his parents.

People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.

People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.

The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.

Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans.

One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem.

There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.

So next time someone complains that you have made a mistake, tell him that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist

Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.

To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit.

Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.

Then we shall... be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of God.

There is no prescribed route to follow to arrive at a new idea. You have to make the intuitive leap.

There is a very real danger that we will kill everything on this planet now that we have the technological power to do so.

The laws of science do not distinguish between the past and the future.

The whole history of science has been the gradual realisation that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.

Women. They are a complete mystery.

No one can resist the idea of a crippled genius.

Sir Terry Pratchett



The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

It's not worth doing something unless you were doing something that someone, somewere, would much rather you weren't doing.

Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind.

Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.

It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.

I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.

Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

The achievement of one goal should be the starting point of another.

Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

Don't keep forever on the public road, going only where others have gone and following one after the other like a flock of sheep. Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods.

What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.

The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion... It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider - and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation - persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.

Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds.

I have always considered myself as an Agnostic...

The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.

The telephone will be used to inform people that a telegram has been sent.

Man is an animal which, alone among the animals, refuses to be satisfied by the fulfillment of animal desires.

The day will come when the man at the telephone will be able to see the distant person to whom he is speaking.

A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with - a man is what he makes of himself.

America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men.

Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself.

Night is a more quiet time to work. It aids thought.

The nation that secures control of the air will ultimately control the world.

You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.

I look like a casual, laid-back guy, but it's like a circus in my head.

I’m minding my own business, sir! How many people do you think actually do that by choice? Does it bother you? Of course it bothers you. A clear conscience is always supposed to bother a cripple-minded idiot like you.
