-- Vaclav Havel
Better to dare Mighty Things and fail, than to live in a gray twilight where there is neither victory nor defeat.

The tasks being reassigned from individual human minds to electronic circuits still retain all their old human structure and scale.
-- James Bailey (After Thought: The Computer Challenge to Human Intelligence)
Talent is insignificant. I know a lot of talented ruins. Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but most of all, endurance.

As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adoured by a downright moron.
