“If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster.”

If I am right, then (religious fundamentalists) will not go to Heaven, because there is no Heaven. If they are right, then they will not go to Heaven, because they are hypocrites.

Feminine intuition? Is that what you wanted the robot for? You men. Faced with a woman reaching a correct conclusion and unable to accept the fact that she is your equal or superior in intelligence, you invent something called feminine intuition.

Since emotions are few and reasons are many (said the robot Giscard) the behavior of a crowd can be more easily predicted than the behavior of one person.

Man’s greatest asset is the unsettled mind.

All you have to do is take a close look at yourself and you will understand everyone else.

Nothing has to be true, but everything has to sound true.

Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.

Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what’s right.

If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success – but only if you persist.

When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent.

There are no nations! There is only humanity. And if we don’t come to understand that right soon, there will be no nations, because there will be no humanity.

Life is a journey, but don’t worry, you’ll find a parking spot at the end.

The great secret of the successful fool is that he’s no fool at all.

Maybe happiness is this: not feeling like you should be elsewhere, doing something else, being someone else.

So the universe is not quite as you thought it was. You’d better rearrange your beliefs, then. Because you certainly can’t rearrange the universe.

Was there anything more exciting in life than seeking answers?

A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.

It said that a lot of people, when they die, they see this light. Like in a tunnel. They say it’s the light leadin’ you to heaven.

Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death.

Everything has its drawbacks, as the man said when his mother-in-law died, and they came down upon him for the funeral expenses.

Each man is good in the sight of the Great Spirit. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows. Now we are poor but we are free. No white man controls our footsteps. If we must die, we die defending our rights.

But in that backroom or whatever it is when God confronts me with my sins, I do not believe any of the kills I had during the war will be among them. Everyone I shot was evil. I had good cause on every shot. They all deserved to die.

Our memories lurch to a reluctant halt in their funeral march, so I can pour salt over them one last time.

In my dreams you conjure me like a spell in the night. Let us haunt one another with uneasy peace, and die burning alive.
