"It is the tale, not he who tells it."

-- Stephen King

“I like Alexander McQueen's work a lot: he's always pushing boundaries, and he's rough around the edges.”
“My method to overcome a difficulty is to go round it.”
“You can maintain power over people, as long as you give them something. Rob a man of everything, and that man will no longer be in your power.”

“People had an illogical, self-serving rationale when it came to interpreting the behavior of others.”
“The world is rapidly being divided into two camps, the comradeship of anti-Christ and the brotherhood of Christ. The lines between these two are being drawn. How long the battle will be we know not whether swords will have to be unsheathed we know not whether blood will have to be shed we know not whether it will be an armed conflict we know not. But in a conflict between truth and darkness, truth cannot lose.”
“Future orientation is combined with a notion and expectation of progress, and nothing is impossible.”
“Popular culture, on average, has been growing more cognitively challenging over the past thirty years, not less. Despite everything you hear about declining standards and dumbing-down, you have to do more intellectual work to make sense of today's television or games - much less the internet - than you did a few decades ago.”
“To do the right thing, at the right time, in the right way; to do some things better than they were ever done before; to eliminate errors; to know both sides of the question; to be courteous; to be an example; to work for the love of work; to anticipate requirements; to develop resources; to recognize no impediments; to master circumstances; to act from reason rather than rule; to be satisfied with nothing short of perfection.”
