The only winner tonight is the Voyager probe, which is speeding away from the Earth at 17 kilometers/second.

One of history's few iron laws is that luxuries tend to become necessities and to spawn new obligations.

Nobody wants to pay taxes, but everyone is happy to invest.

Our children's books, our iconography and our TV screens are still full of giraffes, wolves and chimpanzees, but the real world has very few of them left.

As Nietzsche put it, if you have a why to live, you can bear almost any how.

Nowhere is this divorce between rhetoric and reality more evident than in the formulation of global drug policies, where too often emotions and ideology rather than evidence have prevailed.

Hackers don't break software, they simply demonstrate that it was already broken.

Avant-garde is now just a tiny fashion category. It became so cheap and pretentious. I hate it. But still, I strongly believe in the avant-garde spirit: to voice opposition to traditional values. It is not just a youthful sentiment; I live my life by it. Rebellion. You will only be able to oppose something and find something of your own after traveling the long road of tradition.

Is democracy sustainable in a country where you have no real growth for 50% of the population?

Terrorists on actual terrorist missions to kill people dress in civilian cover. Stop being xenophobic racist idiots.

There is no more important period of our lives than childhood; a good childhood is the bedrock of a happy life and a bad one just about dooms us to enduring misery.

Nijedan život nije sa hepiendom. Osuđeni smo na tužni kraj. Hepiend je sredstvo za manipulaciju, samo u gadostima od Pretty Woman ima da milioner bos nosi ružu prostitutki s ulice.

If you feel like doing something meaningless, there’s a petition you can sign.

As far as David remembers, by the way, 4 percent of Americans answered that they had been decapitated.

Soldiers are the perfect husbands. They know how to cook, to stitch, how to clean and are used to following orders!

Moj prvi album je bio posvećen narodnjacima. Da skrenem pažnju na sebe sprdao sam se sa narodnjacima i napravio radionicu kako bi trebalo da zvuče. Nazvao sam to turbo-folkom, misleći da će biti zgroženi. Međutim, nikada ne možete potceniti auditorijum. Tada sam shvatio da je u primitivnim društvima ironija, kao način izražavanja, štetna, jer je shvataju ozbiljno.

Ti su se ratovi gotovo isključivo sastojali od nasilja naoružanih profesionalaca nad civilima. Neko je već primetio da se ne može imenovati nijedna bitka koja je bila vođena tokom tih ratova, kao što je karakteristično upadljivo i odsustvo patriotskih herojskih memoara, romana i filmova koji redovno prate prave ratove.

Ali ovde se, i to je nasleđe iz Miloševićevog perioda, toliko toga događa, a to su mahom pseudodogađaji, koji vas stalno drže na ringišpilu i vi nikako ne možete da sastavite tu priču, jer stalno imate neke potrese koji okupiraju ljude. Kao kada se sruši kuća, a vi ne kažete – srušila se kuća, nego govorite – pala ova cigla, pala ona cigla, brojimo te cigle, gle evo još jedne cigle. Kada se kuća ruši, padaju cigle, zašto brojiš svaku ciglu? Ali to je još Milošević uspostavio, kad god se zapetlja i nađe u neprilici, on stvori novi skandal i onda se svi bave tim skandalom, dok ne naiđe novi skandal. I to suviše dugo traje i ljudima se neprekidno vrti u glavi.

Pravna država bi bila država koja primenjuje svoje zakone, a vladavina prava bi zahtevala da ti zakoni nešto valjaju.

Much of our security ideas and concepts are based on the days when sysadmins ruled the world. They were like a massive T-Rex ruling their domain, instilling fear into those beneath them. Today in security we are trying to build Jurassic Park, except there are no dinosaurs, they all went extinct. Maybe we can use horses instead, nobody will notice … probably. Most security leaders and security conferences are the same people saying the same things for the last ten years. If any of it worked even a little, I think we'd notice by now.
