Quotes:
The word 'freedom' means for me not a point of departure but a genuine point of arrival. The point of departure is defined by the word 'order'. Freedom cannot exist without the concept of order.

Several excuses are always less convincing than one. (Point Counter Point)
View quotes by Aldous Huxley
My strong point, if I have a strong point, is performance. I always do more than I say. I always produce more than I promise.

On his own history with mathematics, and connection with John Nash:
'I had a bit of a hiccup in the third year of high school. The school I was at hired a non-English speaking Hungarian who was a professional of some great standing in Eastern Europe. But he hadn't learned the English language yet. He probably is a great asset to the teaching staff now, but we were his first class. That was when mathematics and I parted ways.
'There's a lot of mathematics in music. It's all in groups of eight, mate, y'know. The one thing that I may have in common with John is that the subject matter I do know, the driving part of my life, my work life, there's a point where structure and scaffolding is left behind and intuition takes over. That's the difference between John and the next 100 mathematicians. He's fully prepared to leave the scaffolding behind and get into the ether of the equation and find the answer quicker. The bane of his existence, however, is finding the proof.'

That's the trouble with being me. At this point, nobody gives a damn what my problem is. I could literally have a tumor on the side of my head and they'd be like, 'Yeah, big deal. I'd eat a tumor every morning for the kinda money you're pulling down.'

Pol Pot killed one point seven million Cambodians, died under house
arrest, well done there. Stalin killed many millions, died in his bed, aged
seventy-two, well done indeed. And the reason we let them get away with it
is they killed their own people. And we're sort of fine with that. Hitler
killed people next door. Oh, stupid man. After a couple of years we won't
stand for that, will we?

'I've got a black woolen hat and it's got PERVERT written across the front of it. It's the name of the clothing label. And I was with my wife and my baby at the supermarket and I didn't think. I just put my hat on Clara's head, because it was cold. And the looks. I couldn't figure out why I was getting death looks. And then I realized my 10-month old baby's wearing a hat with the word pervert written on it and these people were like, 'There's Satan! There's Satan out with his kid!' And then I made a point of her wearing it every time we went there.'

My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories.

"I am as vulnerable and fragile as it is possible to be. I am shredded to the core. I am at the point where I am stripped bare."
View quotes by Rachel Hunter
People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over.
View quotes by Jim Morrison
Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view
View quotes by Obi Wan Kenobi
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
View quotes by Galileo Galilei
We must come to the point where we realize the concept of race is a false one. There is only one race, the human race.
View quotes by Dan Aykroyd
Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.
View quotes by John Dewey
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything.
View quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
There's not much point being a weak floppy thing in a chair, is there?
View quotes by Margaret Thatcher
I hate admitting that my enemies have a point.
View quotes by Salman Rushdie
It takes little talent to see what is under one's nose, a good deal of it to know in what direction to point that organ.
View quotes by W H Auden
Was there ever in anyone's life span a point free in time, devoid of memory, a night when choice was any more than the sum of all the choices gone before?
View quotes by Joan Didion
After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts.
