Wisp Quotes

(2004 quote) I once met Clint Eastwood, and it was remarkable. I studied him as I spoke to him. I looked down, and his pants were a little short -- they showed a bit too much of his socks. There was something so timid and shy and almost gawky about him in real life. I remember thinking to myself, Someone should have cast him in Meet John Doe, the Frank Capra movie, because that`s the real him. There`s not a wisp of aggression about him. That`s the real essence, not the guy who says, "Make my day."

So we and our elaborately evolving computers may meet each other halfway. Someday a human being, named perhaps Fred White, may shoot a robot named Pete Something-or-other, which has come out of a General Electric factory, and to his surprise see it weep and bleed. And the dying robot may shoot back and, to its surprise, see a wisp of gray smoke arise from the electric pump that it supposed was Mr. White`s beating heart. It would be rather a great moment of truth for both of them.

One may have a blazing hearth in one`s soul and yet no one ever come to sit by it. Passersby see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way.
