I felt as if I had attended the funeral of someone I didn't know. ~Pauline Kael
#quotes #pauline-kael #funeral

The wide world was changing, and she wanted a different place in it. Not just wanted, but felt she deserved. If the world didn't owe her a living, as her mother repeatedly warned her, it owed her a break. She had a strong sense that a better, more exciting, more rewarding life than that which had been the lot of her parents and grandparents was hers by right. In this she was guilty of nothing more serious than the arrogance of youth, from which every generation suffers and by which it distinguishes itself from the preceding one. ~James Robertson

I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans... have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life. ~Alan Ball

Intelligence is: the most complex phenomenon in the Universe; or a profoundly simple process. The answer, of course, is both of the above. It's another one of those great dualities that make life interesting. ~Ray Kurzweil
