"The pint would call the quart a dualist, if you tried to pour the quart into him."

-- George Santayana

“People's lives change. To keep all your old friends is like keeping all your old clothes -- pretty soon your closet is so jammed and everything so crushed you can't find anything to wear. Help these friends when they need you; bless the years and happy times when you meant a lot to each other, but try not to have the guilts if new people mean more to you now.”
“When one is undoneâ€”sprawled across the cold tile of a public bathroom in a pool of oneâ€™s own vomit, or shivering in the back of a taxi in a pair of urine-soaked skinny jeans with no money for cab fare and a dead cell phone batteryâ€”much like a wobbly toddler or an unhinged politician, one immediately looks for someone else to blame. God. Your parents. Ex-girlfriends. Undocumented immigrants. Marvin in Human Resources. China.”
“There is no question we need an energy policy overhaul in America. A key part of that overhaul must include moving forward aggressively with expanding nuclear energy as a renewable energy source. Storing nuclear waste is an important piece of that effort.”
“Why do you have to be so annoying sometimes?" "Cant help it. It's the company I keep.”
“Only a crisis - actual or perceived - produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes the politically inevitable.”
“Blessed are they who hold lively conversations with the helplessly mute, for they shall be called dentists.”
“Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.”
“Height gives you the initiative.”
