Human beings are definitely changing the planet, but how much impact they are having on climate, I don't know and I don't care.
Felix Dennis
Image
The belief that you have a great idea is not worth cuckoo spit. Ideas are ten a penny while the ability to execute counts for a great deal more.
Felix Dennis
Image
I want to prove that if you write in strict meter and rhyme about subjects people care about, they will buy poetry.

Image
I only buy a computer when it's two years old, after the glitches have been worked out.
