Text Quotes
From as long as, literally as far back as I can remember I've liked puns, word jokes, I can literally recall looking at a comic at the age of six or seven and I remember what I enjoyed and what it was precisely and how the joke worked (Ter Quotes)
I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon (Ter Quotes)
You can't but know that if you can capture the emotions of the audience as well as their minds, the play will work better, because it's a narrative art form (Ter Quotes)
A foreign correspondent is someone who lives in foreign parts and corresponds, usually in the form of essays containing no new facts. Otherwise he's someone who flies around from hotel to hotel and thinks that the most interesting thing about any story is the fact that he has arrived to cover it (Ter Quotes)
I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you might nudge the world a little or make a poem that children will speak for you when you are dead (Ter Quotes)
We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered (Ter Quotes)
We've traveled too far, and our momentum has taken over; we move idly towards eternity, without possibility of reprieve or hope of explanation (Ter Quotes)
I put for the general inclination of all mankind, a perpetual and restless desire of power after power, that ceaseth only in death (Ter Quotes)
Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from some sudden conception of some eminency in ourselves, by comparison with the infirmity of others, or with our own formerly (Ter Quotes)
Words are wise men's counters, they do but reckon by them; but they are the money of fools, that value them by the authority of an Aristotle, a Cicero, or a Thomas, or any other doctor whatsoever, if but a man (Ter Quotes)
No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short (Ter Quotes)
Corporations may lesser commonwealths in the bowels of a greater, like worms in the entrails of a natural man (Ter Quotes)
Intemperance is naturally punished with diseases; rashness, with mischance; injustice; with violence of enemies; pride, with ruin; cowardice, with oppression; and rebellion, with slaughter (Ter Quotes)
In the first place, I put for a general inclination of all mankind, a perpetual and restless desire of power after power, that ceaseth only in death (Ter Quotes)
For it is with the mysteries of our religion, as with wholesome pills for the sick, which swallowed whole, have the virtue to cure; but chewed, are for the most part cast up again without effect (Ter Quotes)
He who stands aloof runs the risk of believing himself better than others and misusing his critique of society as an ideology for his private interest (Ter Quotes)
Quality is decided by the depth at which the work incorporates the alternatives within itself, and so masters them (Ter Quotes)
The good man is he who rules himself as he does his own property: his autonomous being is modelled on material power (Ter Quotes)
The man for whom time stretches out painfully is one waiting in vain, disappointed at not finding tomorrow already continuing yesterday (Ter Quotes)
The Enlightenment has always aimed at liberating men from fear and establishing their sovereignty. Yet the fully enlightened Earth radiates disaster triumphant (Ter Quotes)
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image (Ter Quotes)
Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in (Ter Quotes)
There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition (Ter Quotes)
There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark (Ter Quotes)
What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary (Ter Quotes)
I think it would be a disaster. The extraterrestrials would probably be far in advance of us. The history of advanced races meeting more primitive people on this planet is not very happy, and they were the same species. I think we should keep our heads low (Ter Quotes)
I'm not religious in the normal sense. I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws (Ter Quotes)
Just like a computer, we must remember things in the order in which entropy increases. This makes the second law of thermodynamics almost trivial. Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases. You can't have a safer bet than that! (Ter Quotes)
There is no prescribed route to follow to arrive at a new idea. You have to make the intuitive leap. But the difference is that once you've made that intuitive leap you have to justify it by filling in the intermediate steps (Ter Quotes)
It often happens that I have an idea, but then I try to fill in the intermediate steps and find they don't work, so I have to give it up (Ter Quotes)
