“I played Chess with him and would have beaten him sometimes only he always took back his last move, and ran the game out differently”

“The only certainties in life are death and taxes.”

“what is joy without sorrow? what is success without failure? what is a win without a loss? what is health without illness? you have to experience each if you are to appreciate the other. there is always going to be suffering. it’s how you look at your suffering, how you deal with it, that will define you.”

“No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.”

“In all judgements by which we describe anything as beautiful, we allow no one to be of another opinion.”

“Weed your better judgments of all opinion that grows rank in them.”

“There are folks who will equivocate. They'll say, 'You know, I'm not a scientist.' Well, I'm not either. But the best scientists in the world know that climate change is happening.”

“Programs like 'Jeopardy' and 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' are ridiculous. They're the stupidest shows in history. They're making us dumber. They don't give us information, they give us facts, factoids. You don't learn who Napoleon was and how he was motivated. You learn what year he was born, and when he died. That's useless.”

“This is not class warfare. It’s math.”
