I think a lot of people are frightened of technology and frightened of change, and the way to deal with something you're frightened of is to make fun of it. That's why science fiction fans are dismissed as geeks and nerds.

If you're talking to an architect, he can look at a blank piece of paper, and once the initial design is there, the formula kicks in. Each room should have something unique and different about it - much the same way that in a song, every eight bars or so, a new piece of information should be introduced.

Ryan Tedder

Led by long years to my last hours, too late, O world, I know your joys for what they are. You promise a peace which is not yours to give and the repose that dies before it is born. The years of fear and shame to which Heaven now set a term, renew nothing in me but the old sweet error in which, living overlong a man kills his soul with no gain to his body. I say and I know having put it to the proof, that he has the better part in Heaven whose death falls nearest his birth.http://vrcoll.fa.pitt.edu/ftoker/tokerfile/0010sb01-10.html

Michelangelo Buonarroti, Sonnets

A cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty but an obsession about female obedience.

Naomi Wolf

Painting was called silent poetry and poetry speaking painting.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.

Charlie Chaplin

What people had had shed and left--a pair of shoes, a shooting cap, some faded skirts and coats in wardrobes--those alone kept the human shape and in the emptiness indicated how once they were filled and animated; how once hands were busy with hooks and buttons; how once the looking-glass had held a face; had held a world hollowed out in which a figure turned, a hand flashed, the door opened, in came children rushing and tumbling; and went out again. Now, day after day, light turned, like a flower reflected in water, its sharp image on the wall opposite. Only the shadows of the trees, flourishing in the wind, made obeisance on the wall, and for a moment darkened the pool in which light reflected itself; or birds, flying, made a soft spot flutter slowly across the bedroom floor.

Virginia Woolf

Genius is childhood recaptured.

Jean Baudrillard

Life's too short to be a Go-Go for twenty years.

Belinda Carlisle

It is better to finish something than begin.

Proverb

When man learns to understand and control his own behavior as well as he is learning to understand and control the behavior of crop plants and domestic animals, he may be justified in believing that he has become civilized.

Ayn Rand

Thirty spokesShare one hub.Make the nothing therein appropriate, and you will have the use of the cart.

Lao Tzu

Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)
