"When I was young, the old regarded me as an outrageous young fellow, and now that I'm old the young regard me as an outrageous old fellow."

-- Fred Hoyle

“I just take this job very seriously. It's almost like you play a kid's game for a king's ransom. And if you don't take it serious enough, eventually, one day, you're going to say, 'Oh, I could have done this, I could have done that.'”
“A man who speaks out honestly and fearlessly that which he knows, and that which he believes, will always enlist the good will and the respect, however much he may fail in winning the assent, of his fellow men.”
“Avoid all affectation and singularity. What is according to nature is best, and what is contrary to it is always distasteful. Nothing is graceful that is not our own.”
“Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds.”
“When we find someone who is brave, fun, intelligent, and loving, we have to thank the universe.”
“The recent medical controversy over whether vaccinations cause autism reveals a habit of human cognitionâ€”thinking anecdotally comes naturally, whereas thinking scientifically does not.”
“There is much pain that is quite noiseless; and vibrations that make human agonies are often a mere whisper in the roar of hurrying existence. There are glances of hatred that stab and raise no cry of murder; robberies that leave man or woman for ever beggared of peace and joy, yet kept secret by the sufferer --committed to no sound except that of low moans in the night, seen in no writing except that made on the face by the slow months of suppressed anguish and early morning tears. Many an inherited sorrow that has marred a life has been breathed into no human ear.”
“Talking to all those great writers and artists for the magazine was a form of graduate school for me.”
