"Scepticism, that dry caries of the intelligence...." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible; for the fainthearted, it is unknown; but for the valiant, it is ideal.”

“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words.”

“Yes, the brutalities of progress are called revolutions”

“All in all, I just don't trust journalists - and I don't think it's a good practice for me to trust journalists.”

“Every man is a revolutionist concerning the thing he understands. For example, every person who has mastered a profession is a skeptic concerning it, and consequently a revolutionist.”

“Either they're trying to con you or they're trying to con themselves.”

“The only thing I use my body for is to carry my brain around.”

“[Smart] is an elusive concept. There's a certain sharpness, an ability to absorb new facts. To ask an insightful question. To relate to domains that may not seem connected at first. A certain creativity that allows people to be effective.”

“We must take care of our minds because we cannot benefit from beauty when our brains are missing.”
