"I've always had a lot of respect from the people I respected."

--

Randy Newman

“The dignity of a woman's life is infinite, her status immeasurable, her capacity unbounded, her role divine...In the fast changing world of today her vision penetrates into the reality of the far beyond, the reality which endures beyond change.”
“I certainly can't speak for all cultures or all societies, but it's clear that in America, poetry serves a very marginal purpose. It's not part of the cultural mainstream.”
“Certainly almost everything we do and think is colored in some way by memes, but it is important to realize that not everything we experience is a meme. If I walk down the street and see a tree, the basic perception that's going on is not memetic.”
“The crisis that we inherit when we come to power will be the occasion for fundamental change and not the excuse for postponing it”
“It's great when people appreciate your work, but I don't know how seriously to take it. The amazing thing is that I found something so early that I can support myself doing, and that can even be extremely lucrative, but I love it either way.”
“I would rather be hated every damn day of my life for being real than loved for being something I'm not.”

“The greatest fighter I ever saw”
“I always keep my mind open. For me, a mind has to work like like a parachute, works only if it's open.”
