God help us from those who believe that they are the sole possessors of truth. How we manage at times to agree willingly to become prisoners within our own minds and souls of beliefs and ideas on which we can never be flexible.

I guess I'm pretty much of a lone wolf. I don't say I don't like people at all but to tell you the truth I only like it then if I have a chance to look deep into their hearts and their minds.

I have always loved truth so passionately that I have often resorted to lying as a way of introducing it into the minds which were ignorant of its charms.

I have no plans to have any other home than Moscow. However I love to travel and I'm very comfortable in New York. In many ways it reminds me of Moscow in its energy and drive.

Some minds improve by travel others rather resemble copper wire or brass which get the narrower by going farther.

Little minds have little worries big minds have no time for worries.

We have to be thankful considering our number as a family we enjoy very good health generally but you may be sure me and my partner have quite enough to exercise our minds and occupy our attention.

Who knows what technology will emerge in the next five years let alone 20. Yet the education we provide our children now is supposed to last for decades. We cannot train them for jobs that do not even exist yet but we can provide them with the minds and tools they'll need to adapt to our ever-changing set of circumstances.

Ever since the arrival of printing - thought to be the invention of the devil because it would put false opinions into people's minds - people have been arguing that new technology would have disastrous consequences for language.

Robots are interesting because they exist as a real technology that you can really study - you can get a degree in robotics - and they also have all this pop-culture real estate that they take up in people's minds.
