All I knew about Ethiopia was from a few records that I like, as well as what I read about the famine. But you get there and it's another world. It's filled with art and music and poetry and intellectuals and writers - all kinds of people.

War has been the most convenient pseudo-solution for the problems of twentieth-century capitalism. It provides the incentives to modernization and technological revolution which the market and the pursuit of profit do only fitfully and by accident, it makes the unthinkable (such as votes for women and the abolition of unemployment) not merely thinkable but practicable. What is equally important, it can re-create communities of men and give a temporary sense to their lives by uniting them against foreigners and outsiders. This is an achievement beyond the power of the private enterprise economy when left to itself.

E. J. Hobsbawm

If man does find the solution for world peace it will be the most revolutionary reversal of his record we have ever known.

General George Catlett Marshall,

Most bosses know instinctively that their power depends more on employee's compliance than on threats or sanctions.

Fernanda Bartolme

One wanders to the left, another to the right. Both are equally in error, but, are seduced by different delusions.

Horace

My Message to you all is of Hope, Courage and confidence.

Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah

He was a physicist, more precisely an astrophysicist, diligent and eager but without illusions: the Truth lay beyond, inaccessible to our telescopes, accessible to the initiates. This was a long road which he was traveling with effort, wonderment, and profound joy. Physics was prose: elegant gymnastics for the mind, mirror of Creation, the key to man's dominion over the planet; but what is the stature of Creation, of man and the planet? His road was long and he had barely started up it, but I was his disciple: did I want to follow him?

Primo Levi

Any man who married for money and got it. Earned it.

It breaks my heart to see these young, really talented bands getting chewed up into the system. I remember a time if you'd signed to a major label it was such a sell out! But now... unless you've signed to a big label, you're a failure now.

Mike Peters

The long run is what puts the tiger in the cat.

Bill Squires

I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.

Richard P. Feynman

Now, I'm not saying I'm fashionable, but there are sociological interests that matter to me, things that are theoretical, political, intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.

Miuccia Prada

My relationship and the bond with the people in Montreal was kind of special and doesn't happen very often.
