“From the industry's point of view, the problem is not that coal companies blast the top off mountains, turning the area into a moonscape and polluting the air and releasing toxic chemical into what's left of the local streams and aquifers. It's that the people who live near the mines are too cozy with their cousins.” PeopleProblemLeftViewsCompanyAirMinesIndustryMountainAreasPoint Of ViewLocalsStreamsChemicalsToxicCoalCousinBlastCozyToxic ChemicalsAquifers Author:Jeff Goodell
“I believe in one secret and ineffable Lord; and in one Star in the Company of Stars of whose fire we are created, and to which we shall return; and in one Father of Life, Mystery of Mystery, in His name Chaos, the sole viceregent of the Sun upon the Earth; and in one Air the nourisher of all that breathes. And I believe in one Earth, the Mother of us all, and in one Womb wherein all men are begotten, and wherein they shall rest, Mystery of Mystery, in Her name Babalon.” MenBelieveEarthMotherFatherNamesI BelieveStarsSecretCompanyLordSunFireAirMysteryReturnChaosI Believe InBreatheSoleWombIneffable Author:Aleister Crowley

“It is really sad for the new artists. Where's the next Elvis, where's the next Beatles, where's the Zeppelin? They're out there but they don't have a chance because once upon a time we [musicians of the 60s] had record companies, and they would support you and have point of purchase material and they would give you advances. In other words, they gave you the air to breathe to find yourself and spend the time to learn how to run.” GivingRunningArtistNextChanceCompanySupportRecordsAirMaterialsMusicianBreatheFinding YourselfOnce Upon A TimeRecord CompaniesSupport YouZeppelinsReally SadNew Artists Author:Gene Simmons
“I did something rather innovative that my competitors didn't like: I took out a full-page advertisement in the Yellow Pages that listed an office on the east side of Cincinnati, and another office on the west side, while every other heating/air-conditioning company had only one location and one phone number. I was the citywide company. In fact, our 'westside office' was just an answering service taking telephone message.

“Alone? Is he alone at whose right side rides Courage, with Skill within the cockpit and faith upon the left?

“On this question of principle, while actual suffering was yet afar off, they [the Colonies] raised their flag against a power to which, for purposes of foreign conquest and subjugation, Rome in the height of her glory is not to be compared,-a power which has dotted over the surface of the whole globe with her possessions and military posts, whose morning drum-beat, following the sun, and keeping company with the hours, circles the earth with one continuous and unbroken strain of the martial airs of England.” WholeEarthPurposeSufferingHoursCompanyPrinciplesMorningPowerSunAirMilitaryBeatsGloryEnglandRaisedFollowingPossessionSurfaceCirclesPostsHeightRomeFlagsGlobesStrainConquestColonyUnbrokenAfarSubjugationDrum Beats Author:Daniel Webster
“I think the consumption of music is at an all-time high. But I think the ways that record companies are trying to monetize it is just all over the place.

“In order to grow in grace, we must be much alone. It is not in society that the soul grows most vigorously.

“There's no other company that could make a MacBook Air and the reason is that not only do we control the hardware, but we control the operating system.

“Every company that manufactures something is causing some damage either to the soil or water or air. Most companies treat these as externalities. But the growing movement of sustainability calls for companies to internalize these costs. Once companies do this, they will have a strong incentive to reduce their carbon footprint.” StrongWaterCompanyGrowingAirMovementCostTreatsDamageSoilSustainabilityCarbonIncentivesFootprintCarbon FootprintExternalities Author:Philip Kotler
