• She wished some help would come from outside. But in the whole world there was no help. Society was terrible because it was insane. Civilized society is insane.

• There are many perks to living for twenty-one centuries, and foremost among them is bearing witness to the rare birth of genius. It invariably goes like this: Someone shrugs off the weight of his cultural traditions, ignores the baleful stares of authority, and does something his countrymen think to be completely batshit insane. Of those, Galileo was my personal favorite. Van Gogh comes in second, but he really was batshit insane.

And that’s what’s going on in the country right now.

• My dad was in a fraternity back in the 1950s, and they sound really fun back then. Nowadays they sound like they can get a little heavy-duty in terms of the hazing and the drinking.

• The idea of regretting not doing this seemed insane to me. Sitting in the corner at a bar at age 60, saying: 'I could've been Bond. Buy me a drink.' That's the saddest place I could be. At least now at 60 I can say: 'I was Bond. Now buy me a drink.'

  Daniel Craig

• I think that people are constantly thinking about capturing things that they're not actually present for the moment they're trying to capture. I'm quite sure of this.

• I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.)
