Be honest. Be kind. Be honorable. Work hard. And always be awesome.

I guess I'm up to about 70% of normal, which is a real relief. My doctor gave me clearance to go out in public again, so I've been able to go to the store and help out a little bit around the house.

Sorry, Vern. I guess a more experienced shopper could have gotten more for your seven cents.

I've done a lot of geeky things in my life, but I think the geekiest of all was my first effort to build props and cosplay, when I was about twelve years-old.

The goal isn’t to make something everyone will love; the goal is to get excited, and make a thing where something wasn’t before.

I have found that the key to being happy - well, one of the keys, anyway - is to be easily amused.

We can achieve more in a moment of compassion than in an hour of anger.

Memory is this, not the target dead on centerbut the hurt unwept.

Keep guns out of inner cities-but also problem of morality.

Herman Cain told a group of Occupy Wall Street protesters to go home, get a job, and get a life. That's the Republican version of hope and change, ladies and gentlemen.

If somebody comes up and they're African American as Mike is, and they're extremely talented as Mike is, they say, "Oh, yeah, he's the next ..." I think that it points to disparity.

Narrative living is the beginning of rhetoric.

The child is free to live out their own destiny.

The woman has the right to be emancipated from the position of a drudge or a toy. She is entitled to a full equality in rights with man.

In this era of political correctness, some people seem unaware that being squeamish about words can mean being blind to realities.
