As I've written before, China's ability to be the assembly line to the world wasn't where its role in the global economy ended; it was where it began. An ability to make products cheaper than anywhere else gave way to an ability to make high end products more nimbly than anywhere else. ~Sarah Lacy

The way I look at it is that once you create a piece of art, and it's out in the world, there's nothing you can do about it. People can use it the way they want to. There's nothing you can do about it. All you can hope for is that people that are using it are using it with the best intent. ~David Lloyd

I had a handful of records, but when I was 11 years old, I liked Puccini as much as Little Richard. They both made sense to me. ~Patti Smith

After all the evidence is in, after you've run all the facts by everything you know, and you're still lost, you have to do some things on faith. ~Christopher Moore
#quotes #christopher-moore #faith

We get stuck in old thought and behavior patterns that may have been effective when we were twelve months or twelve years old, but now only serve to hold us back. And, while those around us may have no problem correcting our minor flaws, they let the big ones slide, because it would mean attacking who we are. ~Neil Strauss

I wish I was a teenager in the 1970s. ~Ellen Page

Start-up success is not a consequence of good genes or being in the right place at the right time. Success can be engineered by following the right process, which means it can be learned, which means it can be taught. ~Eric Ries

Most people today still believe, perhaps unconsciously, in the heliocentric universe every newspaper in the land has a section on astrology, yet few have anything at all on astronomy. ~Hannes Alfven

I like my raps, but I'm never too happy with some of 'em because I feel like they could be better. But every time I hear my flow on that song I wow myself. ~Tyler The Creator

It is my belief that cooking is a craft. I think that you can push it into the realm of art, but it starts with craft. It starts with an understanding of materials. It starts with an understanding of where foods are grown. ~Tom Colicchio
#quotes #tom-colicchio #art #cooking

Our whole social environment seems to us to be filled with forces which really exist only in our own minds. ~Emile Durkheim
#quotes #emile-durkheim #society #mind

The term "genre" eventually becomes pejorative because you're referring to something that's so codified and ritualised that it ceases to have the power and meaning it had when it first started. ~Christopher Nolan
#quotes #christopher-nolan

You're a product just as much. A product of a product. The people who design cars, they're products, your teachers, products. The minister in your church, another product. ~Chuck Palahniuk
#quotes #chuck-palahniuk #society

As a writer, I demand the right to write any character in the world that I want to write. I demand the right to be them, I demand the right to think them and I demand the right to tell the truth as I see they are. ~Quentin Tarantino
#quotes #quentin-tarantino #writing #character

From early childhood, I was interested in understanding how the world worked, and assumed I would be some kind of physical scientist or chemist. But the truth was, I didn't know there was another kind of world, the inner world, that was just as interesting, if not more relevant, than what was going on in the outside world. ~Stephen LaBerge
#quotes #stephen-laberge #childhood #world

Have you forgotten God? Even if you have, He has not forgotten you. ~Moses

There are three movies that I am exceptionally proud of in my life, and I rarely commit to a list of films that I like, that I've made, but these are the three films that I was passionately connected to. The first was "ET," the second "Schindler's List," and third is "Saving Private Ryan". ~Steven Spielberg
#quotes #steven-spielberg #movies #et #schindler-s-list #saving-private-ryan

I try to write like the writers I admire, I rip them off in form. It comes from George Strait and Merle Haggard records, and country music in general is really good at that, the twisted phrase. So I'm always looking for that angle in my own work. ~Brad Paisley
