“There's a spirituality to math that a lot of people don't understand. It isn't just numbers and equations. There's a world out there that we're all surrounded by at every given moment that we can't understand. There are true intricacies and details to every moment and very piece of matter. Everything!”

- David Krumholtz from Numb3rs Season 1 DVD commentary.

The Most Important Tool We Have

"Language is, however, the most important tool human beings possess for producing consciousness. Language, in other words, is an organized report of what is going on – a report that can be stored in memory and retrieved by hearing or reading other relevant language cues."

Joseph Gold. Read For Your Life: Literature as a Life Support System. Fitzhenry and Whiteside: Markham, 1990. pg 117

Not Everything Needs to be New

"It's almost impossible to start something new nowadays. Hip-hop is like a [slam] dunk contest. There's not too many dunks left that someone can do. You can only jump from the free-throw line so many times, you can only put it through your legs some many times, windmill, whatever. All we're doing right now is preserving. We're not claiming to start anything new or try to be something new. I'm just preserving the shit that I used to listen to and the era I grew up in."

Such a Thing as Personal Responsibility

"What Ida does says, nothing about my character,

What Gary does, says nothing about Ida's character.

There is such a thing in America as personal responsibility."

I completely agree!

Kindness is Wiser

"Sometimes kindness is wiser than truth."

- Lieutenant Columbo

"I don't know why I always remembered that line."

- Laws of Motion DVD

I know why,

because stories are powerful,

because a line in fiction can speak volumes,

because collecting quotations is awesome,

because it says a lot about how we should act and live,

because,

just because.
