Steven Weinberg: The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless.
Bunk: The bigger the lie, the more they believe.
Demotivators: No matter who you are, you have the potential to be so very much less.
David Albert: Is there some point at which the possibility of asking any further such questions somehow definitively comes to an end? How would that work? What would that be like?
Charles Simic: It took years of indifference and stupidity to make us as ignorant as we are today. No doubt, the Internet and cable television have allowed various political and corporate interests to spread disinformation on a scale that was not possible before, but to have it believed requires a badly educated population unaccustomed to verifying things they are being told.
John Givings: Plenty of people are onto the emptiness, but it takes real guts to see the hopelessness.
