I do believe that there are some universal cognitive tasks that are deep and profound - indeed so deep and profound that it is worthwhile to understand them in order to design our displays in accord with those tasks.

Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living we may repair to the dead who have nothing of peevishness pride or design in their conversation.

The writer crafts their ideal world. In my world everyone has really long conversations or just picks apart pop culture to death and everyone talks in monologue.

But then I'm one of those guys that is still a bit afraid of the telephone its implications for conversation. I still wonder if the jukebox might be the death of live music.

That which is so universal as death must be a benefit.

No society has been able to abolish human sadness no political system can deliver us from the pain of living from our fear of death our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition not vice versa.

An important consequence of freeing oneself from the fear of death is a radical opening to spirituality of a universal and non-denominational type.

It is impossible that anything so natural so necessary and so universal as death should ever have been designed by providence as an evil to mankind.

Communism is the death of the soul. It is the organization of total conformity - in short of tyranny - and it is committed to making tyranny universal.

I don't really talk about my personal life. It's a strange and funny and weird thing. Sometimes you have a conversation with someone and the paparazzi snaps a picture of you and people decide you're dating. If I try to answer everything people say I would be up all night.
