Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.

A purpose an intention a design strikes everywhere even the careless the most stupid thinker.

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is at bottom no design no purpose no evil no good nothing but blind pitiless indifference.

What is design? It's where you stand with a foot in two worlds - the world of technology and the world of people and human purposes - and you try to bring the two together.

There's nothing wrong in suffering if you suffer for a purpose. Our revolution didn't abolish danger or death. It simply made danger and death worthwhile.

Shrinking away from death is something unhealthy and abnormal which robs the second half of life of its purpose.

With honesty of purpose balance a respect for tradition courage and above all a philosophy of life any young person who embraces the historical profession will find it rich in rewards and durable in satisfaction.

We are biological creatures. We are born we live we die. There is no transcendent purpose to existence. At best we are creatures of reason and by using reason we can cure ourselves of emotional excess. Purged of both hope and fear we find courage in the face of helplessness insignificance and uncertainty.

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

My purpose is to make a movie to make you warm. To give you some heat. Now this rational world has become a place where only what is cool is good. Do you cut the movie on the basis of the beat of modernity or the basis of the beat of your own heart?
