      • “The only point is that if you find the Republican mantra of lower taxes and smaller government appealing, and if you care only about how fast the economy is growing, not how that growth is shared, you should vote Democratic. Of course, if you do care about things like economic inequality and children's health, you should vote Democratic as well.”

      • “Richard [Feynman] arrived in Boston the day after the company was incorporated... After a hurried private discussion... we informed Richard that his assignment would be to advise on the application of parallel processing to scientific problems. "That sounds like a bunch of baloney," he said. "Give me something real to do." So we sent him out to buy some office supplies.”
