There are no living beings who exert more power over others, pound for pound, than tiny babies and extremely thin moguls.

I would love to have the power to stop waking at 3 a.m. every night to check my e-mail.

I would like to have my consciousness digitally preserved and housed in a pleasant place for later insertion into a fully functional cyborg when that's possible.

I particularly felt that my job in management was safe from the incursion of machines with friendly faces painted on the front of their heads, or whatever you call the metal constructions atop their shoulders, if those are indeed shoulders.

There are now some mountains that my brain can no longer climb.

I can't think of a comparable level of cultural excitement about something since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon in the 1960s.

If you can listen well, people will say you're a good conversationalist.
