"Before we go there and set up greenhouses, dance clubs, and falafel stands, let's make sure that, in some subtle form that could be harmed by the human hubbub, life does not already exist there. If not, then by all means build cities, plant forests and fill lakes and streams with trout -- bring life to Mars and Mars to life. We'll then be the Martians we've been dreaming about for all these years."

-- David Grinspoon

“40, 50 years ago, Americans - the majority of Americans did not want to accept these Vietnamese refugees who they saw as completely foreign. Now there are new foreigners - Syrians and other people from the Middle East, people of Muslim backgrounds. And the sense among many Americans is, well, these people are completely different from us, and they're not like the Vietnamese who are much more assimilable. And I think that's very, very doubtful. I think that the majority of these new foreigners, if given the opportunity, will be able to assimilate and deal with American culture.”
“be glÎ±d of life, becÎ±use it gives you the chÎ±nce to love Î±nd to work Î±nd to plÎ±y Î±nd to look up Î±t the stÎ±rs; to be sÎ±tisfied with your posessions, to despise nothing in the world except fÎ±lsehood Î±nd meÎ±nness Î±nd to feÎ±r nothing except cowÎ±rdice; to be governed by your Î±dmirÎ±tions rÎ±ther thÎ±n by your disgusts, to covet nothing thÎ±t is your neighbour's except his kindness of heÎ±rt Î±nd gentleness of mÎ±nners; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends and to spend Î±s much time Î±s you cÎ±n with body Î±nd with spirit.”

“As far as the hate, it makes me laugh. Everybody is a critic. Every critic I've ever had, they weren't wrestlers. Every wrestler I've ever had critique me, they were always into my stuff or what I'm doing out there. For a non-wrestler, someone who doesn't even know how to lock up, and if we did lock up, they wouldn't know what to do, for them to critique any of us, it really does pop me.”
