Model building is the art of selecting those aspects of a process that are relevant to the question being asked. As with any art, this selection is guided by taste, elegance, and metaphor; it is a matter of induction, rather than deduction. High science depends on this art.

In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.

Maya Lin

Berterimakasihlah pada segala yang memberi kehidupan.

Pramoedya Ananta Toer

There can be no doubt that distrust of words is less harmful than unwarranted trust in them. Besides, to distrust words, and indict them for the horrors that might slumber unobtrusively within them --isn't this, after all, the true vocation of the intellectual?

William Tecumseh Sherman

A revolution does not last more than fifteen years, the period which coincides with the flourishing of a generation.

An arts education helps build academic skills and increase academic performance, while also providing alternative opportunities to reward the skills of children who learn differently.

Elizabeth Edwards

A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth.

Albert Einstein

I remember when I took Quentin Tarantino with me to a very private screening of the documentary 'Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired,' which shows some of the legal irregularities of his case. I was involved by the film, and it was an amazing experience to see people weep at the end of it.

Harvey Weinstein

I take a lot from everywhere. I take from music, architecture, novels, and plays. Anywhere that hits you.

Alex Winter

The UK is not going to leave the European Union. Of course not. We are inextricably wound up with Europe. In terms of culture, history and geography, we are a European nation.

Nick Clegg
