“Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.”
Hunter S Thompson

I’m not scared of a computer passing the turing test… I’m terrified of one that intentionally fails it.

Oh my friend we’re older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
[Gene Raskin]

There’s a lot of beauty in ordinary things, isn’t that kind of the point?
[The Office]

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.
W. H. Auden

I think we spend too much time being afraid of our own mediocrity
We don’t want to sing too loudly in case someone finds out that we don’t have a voice like glass
We don’t write music because we aren’t Mozart
We don’t paint because we’re not Picasso
We don’t tell people that we love them because our voice might shake when we say it.
We try to be pretty criers
We don’t dance because we aren’t that good
The reality of our humanity is that we are all a little bit average at a lot of things.
The truth is that we’re all not that good.
So stop holding yourself back from enjoying the things that you love because you’re not a prodigy at everything.
Scream the song at the top of your lungs and confess you love
And let your voice be shaky
Cry big ugly tears
Dance really badly
Because life is too short to be scared of being human.
[Whitney Hanson]
