• Feynman's cryptic remark, "no one is that much smarter ...," to me, implies something Feynman kept emphasizing: that the key to his achievements was not anything "magical" but the right attitude, the focus on nature's reality, the focus on asking the right questions, the willingness to try (and to discard) unconventional answers, the sensitive ear for phoniness, self-deception, bombast, and conventional but unproven assumptions.

• The values of science and the values of democracy are concordant, in many cases indistinguishable. Science and democracy began - in their civilized incarnations - in the same time and place, Greece in the seventh and sixth centuries B.C. . . . Science thrives on, indeed requires, the free exchange of ideas; its values are antithetical to secrecy. Science holds to no special vantage points or privileged positions. Both science and democracy encourage unconventional opinions and vigorous debate. Both demand adequate reason, coherent argument, rigorous standards of evidence and honesty.

• La verdadera marca de un líder es la voluntad de seguir una línea de acción audaz -una estrategia empresarial poco convencional, una hoja de ruta única para el desarrollo de un producto, una campaña de marketing controvertida- aunque el resto del mundo se pregunte por qué no se marcha al ritmo del statu quo.

• I also think we need unconventional political action, and I increasingly think that there is a need for people of faith to be able to do the kind of things that people of faith did 40 years ago in the heat of the civil rights revolution. This is a moral issue of every bit as much importance requiring every bit as much sacrifice, courage, and energy as that crisis did.

• Llevo muchos años haciendo películas en 16 mm sobre paisajes urbanos de San Francisco. Elijo diferentes temas de no ficción para investigar y, por lo general, me interesa sacar a la luz historias menos conocidas. Me gusta investigar e iluminar estas historias, combinándolas con mi propio estilo narrativo poco convencional, que suele ser una voz en off de flujo de conciencia que implica un flujo constante de reflexiones personales sobre suspirar por mujeres no disponibles.

• We are very confident that the data is showing that carbon capture and sequestration is technologically feasible and it's available.

• Cuando vemos que Donald Trump y Bernie Sanders, candidatos muy poco convencionales, tienen un éxito considerable, es evidente que hay algo ahí que se está aprovechando: una desconfianza hacia la globalización, un deseo de frenar sus excesos, una desconfianza hacia las élites y las instituciones de gobierno que la gente siente que no responden a sus necesidades inmediatas. Y eso a veces se mezcla con cuestiones de identidad étnica, religiosa o cultural, y puede ser una mezcla volátil.

• Director Park always talked to me about her in a very innocent way, that the story was of her coming of age and her sexual awakening and her going from girl to woman and that she had the same desires and hopes as other young people in terms of being very infatuated, which comes in the form of her uncle, which is very unconventional.

• That's always attractive to me, to work with music whose form is a big question mark. Even many of my favorite bands growing up, when I was just a kid learning to play drums and guitar and everything, were bands like Pink Floyd, where the arrangement, the number of bars in each section is unconventional and often lopsided, and there will be small little instrumental interludes and that sort of thing. So those odd forms, as well as dark content, are the things that I think are continuous through all the type of projects that I've been attracted to.

• Jews with unconventional identities should not have to wrestle alone at the intersection where their tradition seems to clash with their integrity as loving human beings. Like Moses responding to the travail of his brothers (Ex. 2:11), a caring halachic Jewish community should respond seriously to the heartfelt appeal of our contemporary sisters.
