David Brin

We already live a very long time for mammals, getting three times as many heartbeats as a mouse or elephant. It never seems enough though, does it?
David Brin

I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it.
David Byrne

I think a lot of times it's not money that's the primary motivation factor; it's the passion for your job and the professional and personal satisfaction that you get out of doing what you do that motivates you.

Tom Hopkins

Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's the only time we've got.
Art Buchwald

Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.
Anton Chekhov
