I think all villains have something in common: they have something that they need or want very, very badly. The stakes are very high and they are not bound by moral codes or being ethical, so they can do anything and will do anything to get what they...
The cells of an organism are nodes in a richly interwoven communications network, transmitting and receiving, coding and decoding. Evolution itself embodies an ongoing exchange of information between organism and environment.
...legal procedure has always tacitly been concerned with human relations, rather than abstract justice, and that consequently in spite of the legal codes it is really the human relations underneath that determine the verdicts in the courts.
[after Jason has killed Desh, the assasin sent after him and Nicky] Jason Bourne: [throws Desh's cell phone to Nicky] Code it in. We need to be dead.
Personally, one of the down sides of founding a company is that there is always too much work to do, and sadly I find I don't have much time to code any more.

I chose to deal with the science of cryptography. Cryptography began in mathematics. Codes were developed, even from Caesar's time, based on number theory and mathematical principles. I decided to use those principles and designed a work that is enco...
Fear and bigotry don’t need explaining. They simply are, like traffic jams and taxes.
Death, taxes and childbirth! There's never any convenient time for any of them.
I never can pass by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York without thinking of it not as a gallery of living portraits but as a cemetery of tax-deductible wealth.
Yes here's to the founding fathers—slave-owners, British citizens who didn't want to pay taxes...
Unquestionably, there is progress. The average American now pays out twice as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages.
