“Today the outlandish becomes routine overnight. The humorist is trying to say that it's still outlandish.”
“At this point, if I were to psychoanalyze myself, I'd have to say I am a clown, cleverly disguised as a regular person.”
“Far from being accidental details, the properties of nature's basic building blocks are deeply entwined with the fabric of space and time.”
“I believe in the compelling power of love. I do not understand it. I believe it to be the most fragrant blossom of all this thorny existence.”

“If you donâ€™t take the time to get really clear about exactly what it is youâ€™re trying to accomplish, then youâ€™re forever doomed to spend your life achieving the goals of those who do.”

“In the fabulous ages of ancient times the appellations of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were given to the planets as being the names of their principal heroes and divinities. In the present more philosophical era, it would hardly be allowable to have recourse to the same method, and call on Juno, Pallas, Apollo, or Minerva for a name to out new heavenly body. . . . I cannot but wish to take this opportunity of expressing my sense of gratitude, by giving the name Georgium Sidus, to a star [Uranus], by which (with to respect to us) first began to shine under His auspicious reign.”
“Еhere's no doubt at all that the Norman conquest led to the hugely concentrated land ownership patterns that we still see in Britain today. Some of Britain's biggest landowners are still direct descendants of Norman barons. And given the impact that Britain has had on the world over the past few hundred years, you could perhaps say this was a global issue. History is always with us.”
