“Persons of high self-esteem are not driven to make themselves superior to others; they do not seek to prove their value by measuring themselves against a comparative standard. Their joy is being who they are, not in being better than someone else.”
“Artistry is to a large degree simplicity.”
“It's not foreign for me to be talking about my problems in circles.”
“I don't initiate violence, I retaliate.”
“Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.”

“Space-ships and time machines are no escape from the human condition. Let Othello subject Desdemona to a lie-detector test; his jealousy will still blind him to the evidence. Let Oedipus triumph over gravity; he won't triumph over his fate.”
“The pirating thing is bad. The people it hurts the most are the ones you least think it hurts. It's not the big Britney Spears albums that are being pirated; it's the indie bands that don't have two cents to their name”
