Penn Jillette
“I don’t think anything gives your life joy and meaning. I think your life simply has joy and meaning. The love for my children, the love for my parents and the love for my friends is the end in itself. The meaning is life.”
Penn Jillette

Frank Sinatra
“I believe in you and me. I'm like Albert Schweitzer and Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein in that I have a respect for life -- in any form. I believe in nature, in the birds, the sea, the sky, in everything I can see or that there is real evidence for. If these things are what you mean by God, then I believe in God. But I don't believe in a personal God to whom I look for comfort or for a natural on the next roll of the dice.”
Frank Sinatra

Camille Paglia
“Venus of Willendorf carries her cave with her. She is blind, masked. Her ropes of corn-row hair look forward to the invention agriculture. She has a furrowed brow. Her facelessness is the impersonality of primitive sex and religion. There is no psychology or identity yet, because there is no society, no cohesion. Men cower and scatter at the blast of the elements. Venus of Willendorf is eyeless because nature can be seen but not known. She is remote even as she kills and creates. The statuette, so overflowing and protuberant, is ritually invisible. She stifles the eye. She is the cloud of archaic night.”
Camille Paglia, Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson

Charlie Chaplin
“Life is a beautiful magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish.”
Charles Chaplin

Penn Jillette
“Democracy without respect for individual rights sucks. It's just ganging up against the weird kid, and I'm always the weird kid.”
Penn Jillette
