Ken Jennings

“In Paul Friedrich's book Proto-Indo-European Trees he identifies the "semantic primitives" of the Indo-European tribe of languages through a group of words that have not changed much through twelve thousand years - and those are tree names: especially birch, willow, adler, elm, ash, apple and beech (bher, wyt, alysos, ulmo, os, abul, bhago). Seed syllables, bija, of the life of the west.”
“I shared this insight with some other boat owners, and they all agreed that, definitely, putting your boar into the water is asking for trouble. Most of them have had their boats sitting in their driveways long enough to be registered historical landmarks.”
“Turn away from your animal kind, try to leave your body, just to live in your mind.”
“Politics is downstream from culture.”
“In my work, I have never had any use for anything that I have known in advance.”
“I don't think being obsessed with sex is any stranger than being obsessed with stamp collecting.”
“Your life has purpose as long as you dedicate it to love. It's not what we do but who we are that forms our biggest contribution.”
“I'm not a religious person, and I'm not too interested in being a part of a religion, but I do like having some sort of communal gathering, and having some sense of peoples.”
