“There are only two things in the world: nothing and semantics.”

“Semantics is about the relation of words to thoughts, but it also about the relation of words to other human concerns. Semantics is about the relation of words to reality—the way that speakers commit themselves to a shared understanding of the truth, and the way their thoughts are anchored to things and situations in the world.”

“Nothing in this world is permanent, the only thing that's permanent is change.”

“Never underestimate the ridiculous things that have been done in the name of religious-semantic obscurity.”

“In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else. It's important to combine the two in just the right amount.”

“Angel: If nothing we do in this world matters, then the only thing that matters is what we do.”
