The world is magic. Science is but an insipid style of sorcery.

I think dry nanotechnology is probably a dead-end.

If all else fails, there's always print or web zines.

If we suppose that many natural phenomena are in effect computations, the study of computer science can tell us about the kinds of natural phenomena that can occur.

Lately I’ve been working to convince myself that everything is a computation.

A computation is a process that obeys finitely describable rules.

Computations are everywhere, once you begin to look at things in a certain way.

All living things are gnarly, in that they inevitably do things that are much more complex than one might have expected.

Traditional science is all about finding shortcuts.

At present, however, I don't think the Net is a very good medium for books, books should really be inexpensive lightweight paperbacks you can bang around.

A little-known truth: Every aspect of the world is fundamentally unpredictable. Computer scientists have long since proved this.

The glamorous colors of the sunset is inviting me

The secret of happiness is to be loving, cheerful, and appreciative.

My music comes from many, many, many places. My emotions, my feelings, my thoughts, and conversations I have with people I know who influence me.

The size of your miracle depends on the size of your problem.

To write you must be warm, fed, loved and sober.

Take your vitamins. Don't drink vodka. Get used to empire waistlines.

People bring camera phones into comedy shows and clubs and concerts, and sound bites never come out right.

Never call a stomach a tummy without good reason.
