"We mock the things we are to be."

-- Mel Brooks

“Writing songs is super intimate. It's a bit like getting naked.”
“Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.”
“I create because it makes me connected to something larger than myself.”
“I have no influence with the rising generation. All my arguments have failed to induce them to set bounds to their wants.”
“Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different? I offer you a choice. Join my crew...and postpone the judgment. One hundred years before the mast. Will ye serve?”
“If social security depresses savings rates, it is only because it is unfunded.”

“The National Security Agencyâ€™s capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left, such is the capability to monitor everything: telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesnâ€™t matter. There would be no place to hide. If a dictator ever took over, the N.S.A. could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back.”
“Many, many large cities have old, crumbling infrastructure that have got to be dealt with in the nearest future, or they're going to be in serious trouble. They'll be unlivable if they don't do something.”
