"Human beings create more than they destroy."

-- Julian Simon

“When you win 20 games in a row and then lose four, people ask you, 'What happened?'...That's the beauty of sports.”
“For any of us to come to the understanding that we are common and unlearned is the accomplishment of a lifetime.”
“It's kind of fun to hear that other people deal with the same kinds of issues that you do.”
“Art is always to a large extent about need, despair and hopelessness.”
“Be not frightened at the hard words "imposition," "imposture;" give and ask no questions. Cast thy bread upon the waters. Some have, unawares, entertained angels.”
“Here's the truth about telling stories with your life. It's going to sound like a great idea, and you're going to get excited about it, and then when it comes time to do the work, you're not going to want to do it. It's like that with writing books, and it's like that with life. People love to have lived a great story, but few people like the work it takes to make it happen. But joy costs pain.”

“Hamas says in its charter they want to see a world without Israel. They want to obliterate Israel.”
“The Internet was done so well that most people think of it as a natural resource like the Pacific Ocean, rather than something that was man-made. When was the last time a technology with a scale like that was so error-free? The Web, in comparison, is a joke. The Web was done by amateurs.”
