Since you cannot do good to all you are to pay special attention to those who by the accidents of time or place or circumstances are brought into closer connection with you.

I like mathematics because it is not human and has nothing particular to do with this planet or with the whole accidental universe - because like Spinoza's God it won't love us in return.

In fact when you combine stem cell technology with the technology known as tissue engineering you can actually grow up entire organs so as you suggest that sometime in the future you get in an auto accident and lose your kidney we'd simply take a few skin cells and grow you up a new kidney. In fact this has already been done.

It's funny though because when I first started going to races after we met I was extremely nervous. It's like being backstage and hoping you don't trip over something or break an amp or accidentally speak into a live microphone so I was really hesitant.

The only time I ever enjoyed ironing was the day I accidentally got gin in the steam iron.

To cement a new friendship especially between foreigners or persons of a different social world a spark with which both were secretly charged must fly from person to person and cut across the accidents of place and time.

I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.

It's not an accident that both my sister and I are writers. Our parents created an accidental Petri dish. My family has great storytellers and I grew up in a very funny conversational house and didn't have television. This small family farm was a bubble world that didn't have much to do with reality.

When an action is once done it is right or wrong for ever no accidental failure of its good or evil fruits can possibly alter that.

We have no general conceptual thrust for the band other than trying to make music that keeps our interest. When things are novel they are probably things we have discovered by accident or investigation rather than by design.

There is no city in America that has reduced crime as much as we have in the last three years. This is not the product of accident. This is the product of design.

Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed there is no justice but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two some century or two but it is sure as life it is sure as death.

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

One of the accidental joys of my writing life has been that I've had some lovely surprisingly good fortune with readers and I've brought readers to my dad's work. I can't tell you the joy that gives me. Because my father's work was masterful.

Dad I'm in some trouble. There's been an accident and you're going to hear all sorts of things about me from now on. Terrible things.
