There is something fundamentally unfair about a government that takes away so much of people's money power and personal control while telling them that life will be better as a result.
In the inner city there's a mentality that the government owes you something. My breakthrough came when I stopped feeling sorry for myself and took responsibility for every part of my life. No more pity parties. I've gotta love me more than anybody else loves me.

I don't think the government is out to get me or help someone else get me but it wouldn't surprise me if they were out to sell me something or help someone else sell me something. I mean why else would the Census Bureau want to know my telephone number?
I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately it's the government.
The way people in democracies think of the government as something different from themselves is a real handicap. And of course sometimes the government confirms their opinion.

Greek philosophy seems to have met with something with which a good tragedy is not supposed to meet namely a dull ending.
A play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time then I know it can't be much good.

A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated something is wrong.
You know when something feels so good but you're afraid to feel good about it? So you kinda hold back? Everyone says Congratulations you must be so happy. And you say something stupid like I'm just doing what little I can with what little I have.
Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes it was 29 years.

There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.
I question myself every day. That's what I still find motivating about this. I don't have the answers I don't pretend that I do just because I won the match. Just keep fighting and maybe something good happens.
