I like living on the edge.

We all have an edge. We all are floating our psyche on top with a great ocean underneath.

Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken.

I've created a chaotic life, and then I get on edge because of it.

It's often difficult to slough off all that we've acquired, all the comforts and safety nets modern life provides for us, and realize that in those days, people were living very much on the edge - life was incredibly hard!

I think the rock'n'roll myth of living on the edge is a pile of crap.

When life hits you pretty hard, you can go into a dark corner.

About the 50th hour, I was going to start thinking about the edge of the universe. Is there an edge? Is this an envelope we're living inside of, or no, does it go onto infinity in both time and space? And there's nothing like swimming for 50 hours in the ocean that gets you thinking about things like this.

Once you put human life in human hands, you have started on a slippery slope that knows no boundaries.

I argue in this paper that we are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth.
