"I don't want any yes-men around me. I want everybody to tell me
       the truth even if it costs them their jobs." -- Samuel Goldwyn

        Vows begin when hope dies.
                
                           --Leonardo da Vinci

A penny saved is ridiculous.

"For me, the best thing about cyberpunk is that it taught
me how to enjoy shopping malls, which used to terrify me.
Now I just imagine the whole thing is two miles below the
moon's surface, and that half the people's right-brains
have been eaten by roboticized steel rats. And suddenly
it's interesting again." 

    - Rudy Rucker
