Alexander Hamilton
“Have we not already seen enough of the fallacy and extravagance of those idle theories which have amused us with promises of an exemption from the imperfections, weaknesses and evils incident to society in every shape?”
Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers

Neal Stephenson
“This Snow Crash thing--is it a virus, a drug, or a religion?”

Juanita shrugs. “What's the difference?”
Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

Karl Braungart
“Remmich’s subconscious mind is controlled by us. He will get what we want.”
Karl Braungart, Counter Identity

Helen Fielding
“Why does turning on a TV these days require three remotes with ninety buttons? Why?”
Helen Fielding, Mad About the Boy

Walter Isaacson
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs
