"...it is only the hope of what is claimed that begets and nurishes the wish;"

-- Arthur Schopenhauer

“I know we just met today, but I gotta see you tomorrow. I know this is our first date, I don't expect you to swallow.”
“In the sphere of religion, as in other spheres, the things about which men are agreed are apt to be the things that are least worth holding; the really important things are the things about which men will fight.”
“Because I'm not the same today as I was in '58, or '59 or even '71.”
“Change is inevitable but personal growth is a choice.”
“The Open Source theorem says that if you give away source code, innovation will occur. Certainly, Unix was done this way... However, the corollary states that the innovation will occur elsewhere. No matter how many people you hire. So the only way to get close to the state of the art is to give the people who are going to be doing the innovative things the means to do it. That's why we had built-in source code with Unix. Open source is tapping the energy that's out there.”
“What is important to me is there has been consensus and clarity, (and) much better coordination. We'll be much quicker to control avian influenza as a result.”
“Sex isn't all that important, but it is when you love someone very much.”
“None shall take advantage of his own wrong.”
