“All the while, let's not forget, very little, if any, substantive intellectual activity is going on.”

“Let an ultraintelligent machine be defined as a machine that can far surpass all the intellectual activities of any man however clever. Since the design of machines is one of these intellectual activities, an ultraintelligent machine could design even better machines; there would then unquestionably be an "intelligence explosion", and the intelligence of man would be left far behind. Thus the first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make.”

“Then a little voice in him said, Let go, let go, let go”

“Design and programming are human activities; forget that and all is lost.”

“… when dogma enters the brain, all intellectual activity ceases.”

“While frenetic activity, in the end suiting journos; running at the behest of little press secretaries does not pay off”

“Let’s not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it.”

“Gonna forget about myself for a while, gonna go out and see what others need.”

“Do everything with a mind that lets go. Don’t accept praise or gain or anything else. If you let go a little you a will have a little peace; if you let go a lot you will have a lot of peace; if you let go completely you will have complete peace.”

“"Let byegones be byegones," — they foolishly say,
And bid me be wise and forget them;
But old recollections are active to-day,
And I can do nought but regret them.”
