""I am not sure of the weapons that will be used in WW III, but I know in WW IV we will use sticks and stones..." "

"If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."

"There are two ways to live your life. Either as if nothing is a miracle or as if everything is"

"My dad said to me a few years ago: "There's no harm in thinking." We were talking about Crazy Uncle Albert and whether it was right to use your brain to build weapons.
He said, "You can't expect people not to think. Not to know things just because they COULD be bad."
I said, "Yeah, but then they built it and a hundred thousand people died."
My dad laughed and said there were a lot of steps between the thinking and the doing.
Which I know, duh. All I was saying is that when you think of doing something, you don't always know the consequences. For a while people THOUGHT about building the bomb, but nothing happened. In the end it was a lot of different people doing a lot of different things, most of which had nothing to do with the bomb, that did make it happen.
I think about that sometimes. Who was the person who had the first thought, the one that started it all?
And after they had the thought, what was the first thing they did?
I know my uncle never thought, Hey, all this great science- one day I'll use it to kill a whole bunch of people. You just look at his picture; he's not that kind of person.
And yet, I guess in a way he sort of is."

"Albert Camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not.
Tom Robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end.
Camus clearly got up on the wrong side of bed, and Robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm.
There is only one serious question. And that is: Who knows how to make love stay?
Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.
