"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." Roy Batty – Blade Runner 1982

Much of what is greatest in human achievement involves some element of intoxication, some sweeping away of prudence by passion. Without the Baccic element, life would be uninteresting; with it, it is dangerous. Prudence versus passion is a conflict that runs through history. It is not a conflict in which we ought to side wholly with either party.
Bertrand Russell

To the man or woman who, by compulsion, is more civilized in behavior than in feeling, rationality is irksome and virtue is felt as a burden and a slavery. This leads to a reaction in thought, in feeling and in conduct.
Bertrand Russell

What socializing on the internet is to socializing is like what reality TV is to reality. Aaron Sorkin
