I feel like I've never had a home you know? I feel related to the country to this country and yet I don't know exactly where I fit in... There's always this kind of nostalgia for a place a place where you can reckon with yourself.

I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.

Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory friends you can trust love of learning and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey.

Home is where the heart is.

Home is the place where when you have to go there they have to take you in.

Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave but not our hearts.

If we got into a situation where people start burning our records then bring it on. That's the whole point. The gloaming has begun. We're in the darkness. This has happened before. Go read some history.

I'm so intrigued by women throughout history where the significance of what they were representing at that time is obscured by the fact a man saved them or they were prostitutes.

We live in a world where amnesia is the most wished-for state. When did history become a bad word?

All through history there have always been movements where business was not just about the accumulation of proceeds but also for the public good.

I don't really think of things in terms of legacy or where I stand in the history of Nintendo or anything like that.

I just read an 800-page history of the Scottish Enlightenment and honestly I may as well just start it again now because I cannot remember a single thing. I can barely remember where Scotland is.

Nowhere else in history has there ever been a flag that stands for the right to burn itself. This is the fractal of our flag. It stands for the right to destroy itself.

Cause and effect the riddle of all history is a particular devil in financial history and never more so than today where entire classes of security are collapsing not on public exchanges and stock-tickers but because there are no markets to establish prices this side of nothing.

With the perspective afforded by the passage of time where does 9/11 rank as a turning point in our national history? For the victims and their families innocents going about their lives suddenly and brutally murdered no other day can ever matter as much.

I don't think that there's been one example in history where somebody has openly talked about their personal life and it's done them any good.

If I were beginning my career today I don't think I would take the same direction. Television is at a crossroads at the moment. And although I am not up to date technologically I suspect that somewhere out there people are conveying things about natural history by means other than television and I think if I were beginning today I'd be there.

Over the objections where they sound like squealing pigs over the objections of Romney and all his allies we passed some of the toughest Wall Street regulations in history turning Wall Street back into the allocator of capital it always has been and no longer a casino. And they want to repeal it.
