We go forward with our heads held high, but look back and remember where we come from.

You have a choice. Either you can have more oil, or more clean water. Fracking is not good for the water supply.

The one sure mark of a con, though, is the promise of free money.

What's bad for the frackers usually is good for the rest of the world.

Nothing could be better for the economy than to get rid of fracking.

Every government, from the Obama administration right through to Angela Merkel, the Eurozone and the IMF, promise to save the banks, not the economy.

Elites play the role today that landlords played under feudalism. They levy interest and financial fees that are like a tax, to support what the classical economists called "unproductive activity."

Nobody prefers to earn income any more, because that's taxable. Rich people prefer to make capital gains.

We're still in the collapse that began after 2008. There's not a new collapse, there hasn't been a recovery.

Now, go, wirte it before them in a table and note it in a book, that it may be fore the time to come for ever and ever. Isiah 30:8

The library in 2020 will be ruled by geeks. In my happy vision for the future, libraries are ruled by benign geek librarian overlords and the world is full of awesome.

A kiss on the hand may feel very, very good, but a diamond and sapphire bracelet lasts forever.

We live in an age when there is no room for the impossible.

At great expense, we have built a vast system of inter-connecting stupidities.

Satan can make men dance upon the brink of hell as though they were on the verge of heaven.

I think a good book is a good book forever. I don't think they get less good because times change.

Dare to dream big dreams. For those are the dreams that have the power to push your whole world forward.

If it is strength, go down into hell and get hold of it!

I formed a band when I was about 13, and we all listened to punk - or what we thought was punk!
