“See, Biff, everybody around me is so false that I'm constantly lowering my ideals...”

“For all these stars,
nothing is new.
They鈥檝e seen all kinds of wars
and miracles, too.
They know the messengers with their holy books
will smile and wash their hands in blood.
They know the politicians with their good looks
will make the poor eat pies of mud.
They鈥檝e seen the Earth freeze
and then burn with greed.
They鈥檝e seen the trees
and the seas emptied.
Yet, you won鈥檛 hear their sneers
when a man arrives
and, having experienced a number of years,
proclaims: 'I have lived!'
Because nothing is new under these stars:
the lies, the love, the memories and scars,
the ruin, the revolution, the fakes and true,
the families, the friends, none of it is new.
All of it鈥攅ven the me and you.”

“Rapacity plus taste is a formidable combination, since it so often passes for intelligence. One pities the artist in a world of such predators, all of whom are deeply engaged in the arts too.”

“Despite all of our incessant tinkering, we can鈥檛 manufacture the things we most desperately need. And if perchance we do, they will never be more than pathetically emaciated facsimiles that will leave us emaciated. And until we finally realize that we can only 鈥榝ind鈥� these things, we will never sense any compulsion to 鈥榝ind鈥� God.”

“When fakes and charlatans twist the words of true thinkers, religious texts & intelligent human beings to meet or defend their own demented, violent and greedy ends they should for the good of society be charged with the crime of "petty pathetic douchebaggary"and be publicly shamed. Unfortunately, this would make felons of most of our society's billionaires, corporations and politicians currently taking advantage of the gullibility of our own citizens. This isn't knowledge or any form of enlightenment but the abuse of it.”
