Personally I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility.

I have seen that technology has contributed to improved communication that it's contributed to better health care that it's contributed to better food supplies that it has contributed to all the basic human needs.

Most of what needs to be changed in the euro zone can be done without treaty changes. The demand for treaty change is as political as it is legal and I don't think it's going to happen soon.

Governments cannot make marriages or turn feckless individuals into responsible citizens. That needs another kind of change agent.

The reality of split government puts a premium on creativity within the administration. President Obama needs to put the right people in charge of the agencies and then have them push the bounds of administrative power to change policy through those agencies. President Obama has a pretty good track record of this.

I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself it doesn't have to happen in the New Year. You can do that any time you please - not that it's not a good inspirational tactic for the people that it works for.

People feel that the EU is a one-way process a great machine that sucks up decision-making from national parliaments to the European level until everything is decided by the EU. That needs to change.

I'm a typical middle child. I'm the mediator. The one that makes everything OK puts their own needs aside to make sure everybody's happy. It's hard to change your nature even with years and years of therapy.

You can love more than one person in your life but things will be different. There'll be a different dynamic. Needs and desires change.

That man is a creature who needs order yet yearns for change is the creative contradiction at the heart of the laws which structure his conformity and define his deviancy.
