In sectors like energy, i haven't been arguing for more spending per se; i've been arguing that it doesn't make sense for us to spend $4 billion subsidizing an oil industry that's mature and very profitable. we should be using that money to finance clean energy of the future.

More From Barack Obama

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

How did we make the transition from using wood to using coal, from using coal to using oil, from using oil to using natural gas? how in god's name did we make that transition without a federal energy agency?

Arguing whether or not a god exists is like fleas arguing whether or not the dog exists. arguing over the correct name for god is like fleas arguing over the name of the dog. and arguing over whose notion of god is correct is like fleas arguing over who owns the dog.

We've subsidized oil companies for a century. that's long enough. it's time to end the taxpayer giveaways to an industry that rarely has been more profitable, and double-down on a clean energy industry that never has been more promising. pass clean energy tax credits. create these jobs.

I never said it. honest. oh, i said there are maybe 100 billion galaxies and 10 billion trillion stars. it's hard to talk about the cosmos without using big numbers. i said "billion" many times on the cosmos television series, which was seen by a great many people. but i never said "billions and billions." for one thing, it's too imprecise. how many billions are "billions and billions"? a few billion? twenty billion? a hundred billion? "billions and billions" is pretty vague. when we reconfigured and updated the series, i checked-and sure enough, i never said it.

This having learnt, thou hast attained the sum of wisdom; hope no higher, though all the stars thou knew'st by name, and all th'ethereal powers, all secrets of the deep, all nature's works, or works of god in heav'n, air, earth, or sea, and all the riches of this world enjoy'dst, and all the rule, one empire; onlyadd deeds to thy knowledge answerable, add faith, add virtue, patience, temperance, add love, by name to come called charity, the soul of all the rest: then wilt thou not be loath to leave this paradise, but shalt possess a paradise within thee, happier far.

There is no planet, sun, or star could hold you if you but knew what you are.

There is a particular kind of pain, elation, loneliness, and terror involved in this kind of madness. when you're high it's tremendous. the ideas and feelings are fast and frequent like shooting stars....but, somewhere, this changes. the fast ideas are far too fast, and there are far too many; overwhelming confusion replaces clarity. everything previously moving with the grain is now against-you are irritable, angry, frightened, uncontrollable....it will never end, for madness carves its own reality.
