Yet.

Challenges help my brain.

Will this strengthen my dendrites?

Mistakes are opportunities.

I can do this.

Keep trying.

What would I change for next time?

I became a soldier, not because I had a military vocation initially, but because it was the only way that that young, poor-class child from the provinces could go to the center of the country: through baseball, which was my dream.

I never stopped being attracted to women. Bisexuality is misunderstood the adage is that youre either straight or gay or lying but thats not my experience. To call me anything other than bisexual would be inaccurate.

When you feel like stopping, think about why you started.

I've been told the weirdest things: 'Yeah, I love taking a bath to your music!' or 'I gave birth to my daughter while listening to your music.'

Having personally watched the Voting Rights Act being signed into law that August day, I can't begin to imagine how we could have all been so wrong in believing that more Americans would vote once they were all truly free to do so.

Museums are wormholes to other worlds. They are ecstasy machines. Follow your eyes to wherever they lead you…and the world should begin to change for you.

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead I lift my eyes and all is born again.

Back in the '90s, folks were not sure if they could trust the Web, and frankly, a lot of the services back then didn't provide massive value.

What offends me the most when I hear criticisms about this so-called Africa bias is how quick we are to focus on the words and propaganda of a few powerful, influential individuals, and to forget about the millions of anonymous people who suffer from their crimes.

As far as being on a major label, some labels get it and get what they have to do, and some labels don't. I don't think the label I'm on necessarily gets it, but I think over time they're gonna have to.

That's politics. After six o'clock, we can be friends, but before six, it's politics.

The idea of seeing everybody clad the same is not really my cup of tea.

The wise become as the unwise in the enchanted chambers of Power, whose lamps make every face the same colour.

At first, people think about vegetarian food like, 'Here's some veggies. Here's some pasta.' But there's so much more you can do in the vegetarian and vegan world.

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.

And I can relate to that, because I went to an all white school, so I knew what that was like. And it was hard at the time, but anything that's difficult you learn from, don't you?

Bringing GIS into schools gets the kids very excited and indirectly teaches them different components of STEM education. That's been illustrated at school after school.

One common puzzle for the security minded is how to work with confidential data on the road. Sometimes you cant bring your laptop or dont want to. But working on somebody elses machine exposes you to malware and leaves behind all kinds of electronic trails.

I was interested in the questions that come up when the Internet gives you access not just to JSTOR libraries and to digital information, but also to things that are live and dynamic and organic in some way.

If my mother hadn't encouraged me, I would be nervous and feeling like I'm doing something wrong.

Ten out of ten people die. You start thinking about that and it really makes you start to ask the big questions: Where did I come from? Where am I going when I die? What happens when we step out of here? What's out there?

Baseball would be a quite remarkable activity if it was the one place in the world where your co-workers didn't have any impact on how productive you were. But in fact, baseball is a high-stress occupation, and those sort of stress-inducing activities... just have a huge impact on how the team functions, I think.

High school wasnt a trial by fire or some ordeal that had to be survived. It was all a big joke. You just had to provide the laugh track.

Using the word weird implies that there is a norm.
