My body was a buzzing antenna into which radio waves flooded from the entire cosmos. I was the living switchboard of the universe. My skull was a magnetized globe.

Just to say "Well, God is dead" in one breath is to say, in another, that nothing means anything. This is the moment of nihilism. Nihilism is the affirmation of meaninglessness.

It is so ridiculous to limit oneself to one version of the truth.

It's complicated. On the one hand we're killer apes, and on the other hand we have this metaphysical longing.

The only answer to the question of the meaning of life has to begin from the fact of our human finitude, of our vulnerability and our fallibility.

I think that when people are at their best, when they are thinking, reflecting, cogitating, then they are doing philosophy. So I don't see philosophy as an academic enterprise.

Philosophy, for me, is a way of relearning to look at the world, a world that is familiar to us, that we know, that is shared by all human beings and also by nonhuman beings.

Peace is nothing more than the regulation of the psycho-political economy of awe and reverential fear, of using the threat of terror in order to bind citizens to the circuit of their subjection.

We might even define the human as a dynamic process produced by a series of identifications and misidentifications with animality.

The current situation with regard to theory is odd and maybe defined by a paradox.

The philosopher is someone who doesn't know, but who wants to find out.

Let us restore trust back to our society

Provide me with an ink, paper, inspiration and place me on the high point on the edge with the sunset and sunrise, and I will make a masterpiece for you.

No one knows how strong they are until they have to be.

Talking with my friends and family every day helps keep me grounded and connected to home. They are the most important things to me.

We know not of the future and cannot plan for it much.

God is the only way you're going to make it in life, the glue that holds everything together.

Show me a completely smooth operation and I'll show you someone who's covering mistakes. Real boats rock.

A weeping woman is a bucket with no bottom.

Whether that's an action film or a comedy or a drama or anything in between, I'm willing to prove that I can play with the big boys.

I genuinely love you all and the fact that some of you are not feeling so great at the moment really really upsets me.
