Of all the things I could know, my own faults and weaknesses are pretty much the most important.

What I think we fear is rapid, pronounced, and uncontrollable changes to ourselves, and because of this we have a form of personality inertia - something that resists rapid change.

It ain't the picture and it ain't the camera - it's the operator.

Death is inevitable, but Life - that's the tricky bit where things happen.

Names are what people sometimes use to excuse their thoughts and actions towards you.

Excellent, there's nothing quite like a blunt object to reinforce proper administration ethics.

Allowing yourself to smile takes 99% of the effort.

Knowing the rules and remembering the rules are two completely different things.
