To be insane is to be sane with just a little more knowledge of what’s going on.
I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious.
Intelligence without ambition is like a bird without wings.
I think, therefore, I am dangerous.
Never be so focused on what your looking for that you overlook the thing you actually find.
