Where light exists, it is pure, blazing, fierce; but light exists almost nowhere, and the blackness itself is also pure and blazing and fierce.
Modesty, tis a virtue not often found among poets, for almost every one of them thinks himself the greatest in the world.
My way of dealing with the world has always been to make fun of it and observe it but not take part in it. That’s how I became a writer. But when you have kids, suddenly you have to be part of things. It leads almost to a breakdown because your whole defense mechanism is now really destructive.

It’s a small percentage of people who do the 80-hour-a-week high-powered career thing, and they’re almost all men. Why? Well, men are driven by socio-economic status more than women.

Listen to your mom and dad! They are almost always right, especially about boys.
Wear what you want to wear. Do what you want to do. Be who you are. Pick out your own clothes. Be a man. And if that’s too much to ask, as it almost always is for me, think of someone you consider to be a man and pretend to be like him. I pretend to be like my dad.

I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.
An almost indispensable skill for any creative person is the ability to pose the right questions. Creative people identify promising, exciting, and, most important, accessible routes to progress – and eventually formulate the questions correctly.

The fact is, I don’t follow any strict diet. I eat almost everything, but moderation is the key.
When I first walked in to London, I was so overwhelmed by the village, the sheer volume of people. I was just so excited. You don’t know what to expect. So the level of excitement was almost draining, just taking everything in. I was so exhausted after I swam because of all the excitement in the build-up.
When I was young, people were almost identified solely by the kind of music they liked. People fell into categories of who liked what.

The songwriting was almost like something I did while I was waiting for my daughter to come back.

For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I’m not sure where I’m going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn’t do it.
The chances of Israeli science competing with big American science are small. For almost 15 years, we had no competition.
Space is almost infinite. As a matter of fact, we think it is infinite.

The problem of sexism is getting better, but I don’t know if it’s getting better fast enough.

Alan Moore’s writing is almost novelistic. It’s very intricate and wordy and smart.
