"Love has the power to change everything."

--

Anthony D. Williams

“Don't let me catch anyone talking about the Universe in my department.”
“Don't just buy a new video game, make one. Don't just download the latest app, help design it. Don't just play on your phone, program it.”
“Though a censure lies against those who are poor and proud, yet is Pride sooner to be forgiven in a poor person than in a rich one; since in the latter it is insult and arrogance; in the former, it may be a defense against temptations to dishonesty; and, if manifested on proper occasions, may indicate a natural bravery of mind, which the frowns of fortune cannot depress.”
“When you hold out for high standards, people are impressed-but they don't always like you for it. Not everybody will be on your side in your struggle to do what's right and ethical. In fact, sometimes even you won't be on your side. You'll wrestle with inner conflict, torn between what you should do and what you want to do. You'll also aggravate other people. Seems when you walk the straight and narrow you always step on someone's toes. Don't count on the ethics of excellence to make you popular.”
“You are always new, the last of your kisses was ever the sweetest.”
“I've been lucky to broadcast some great events and to broadcast the exploits of some great players.”
“If the afternoon had been blue, there might have been less desire.”

“I have therefore come to the opinion that the most reasonable recourse for the humanization of society and its institutions is to abandon them and begin again to build a society with a just, equitable and compassionate economy with justice, equality, and reverence for all life insured by the goals and forms of all its institutions.”
