"Thatâ€™s the problem with all of this. No matter how hard I try, I canâ€™t make it perfect. I canâ€™t keep it in a bottle, canâ€™t ignore reality. Chemicals are involved, the kind scientists try to synthesize and put into pill form, and theyâ€™re making tremendous advances every day. Theyâ€™re winning the war against love. Itâ€™s probably inevitable now. There are only two ways to see the world: either no one and nothing is connected to anything, or we are all a random series of carbon molecules connected to each other. Tell me if thereâ€™s room for love in either of those scenarios."

I am not your cornfield, not your uranium mine, not your calf for fattening, not your cow for milking. You may not use me as your factory. Priests and legislators do not hold shares in my womb or my mind. If I give it to you, I want it back. My life is a non-negotiable demand.”
“A committee is a group of people who individually can do nothing, but who, as a group, can meet and decide that nothing can be done.”
“What makes us leave what we love best? What is it inside us that keeps erasing itself When we need it most, That sends us into uncertainty for its own sake And holds us flush there until we begin to love it And have to begin again? What is it within our own lives we decline to live Whenever we find it, making our days unendurable, And nights almost visionless? I still don't know yet, but I do it.”
“After forty years of close acquaintance with it, I've found that work is kind to its friends and harsh to its enemies. It pays the fellow who dislikes it his exact wages, and they're generally pretty small; but it gives the man who shines up to it all the money he wants and throws in a heap of fun and satisfaction for good measure.”
