Universities Were Not Meant Entirely, Or Even Chiefly, As Stepping-stones To An Examination, But That There Is Something Else Which Universities Can Teach And Ought To Teach-nay, Which I Feel Quite Sure They Were Originally Meant To Teach-something That May Not Have A Marketable Value Before A Board Of Examiners, But Which Has A Permanent Value For The Whole Of Our Life, And That Is A Real Interest In Our Work, And, More Than That, A Love Of Our Work, And, More Than That, A True Joy And Happiness In Our Work.

This Is The Time For Every Artist In Every Genre To Do What He Or She Does Loudly And Consistently. It Doesn't Matter To Me What Your Position Is. You've Got To Keep Asserting The Complexity And The Originality Of Life, And The Multiplicity Of It, And The Facets Of It.

Men Have Always Been A Prey To Distractions, Which Arethe Original Sins Of The Mind; But Never Before Today Has An Attempt Been Made To Organize And Exploit Distractions, To Make Of Them, Because Of Their Economic Importance, The Core And Vital Center Of Human Life, To Idealize Them As The Highest Manifestations Of Mental Activity. Ours Is An Age Of Systematized Irrelevances, And The Imbecile Within Us Has Become One Of The Titans, Upon Whose Shoulders Rests The Weight Of The Social And Economic System

In Short There Is Not A Shred Of Objective Evidence To Support The Hypothesis That Life Began In An Organic Soup Here On The Earth.

Once We See, However, That The Probability Of Life Originating At Random Is So Utterly Minuscule As To Make It Absurd, It Becomes Sensible To Think That The Favorable Properties Of Physics, On Which Life Depends, Are In Every Respect Deliberate....
