"I'm in love with hope."

-- Mitch Albom

“God gave Davie Cooper a talent. He would not be disappointed with how it was used”
“If we are to love sincerely, and with simplicity, we must first of all overcome the fear of not being loved.”
“Science itself is badly in need of integration and unification. The tendency is more and more the other way ... Only the graduate student, poor beast of burden that he is, can be expected to know a little of each. As the number of physicists increases, each specialty becomes more self-sustaining and self-contained. Such Balkanization carries physics, and indeed, every science further away, from natural philosophy, which, intellectually, is the meaning and goal of science.”

“Humanity has a strange fondness for following processions. Get four men following a banner down the street, and, if that banner is inscribed with rhymes of pleasant optimism, in an hour, all the town will be afoot, ready to march to whatever tune the leaders care to play.”
“It only takes one lie to taint your entire testimony in a court of law. Honesty is a vital part of having a good reputation.”
“The definition of horror is pretty broad. What causes us "horror" is actually a many splendored thing (laughs). It can be hard to make horror accessible, and that's what I think Silence of the Lambs did so brilliantly - it was an accessible horror story, the villain was a monster, and the protagonist was pure of heart and upstanding so it had all of these great iconographic elements of classic storytelling. It was perceived less as a horror movie than an effective thriller, but make no mistake, it was a horror movie and was sort of sneaky that way.”
“But no one has yet succeeded in reducing the size or scope of the federal government”
“When your ship comes in, make sure you are willing to unload it”
