“As long as the Southern colleges have revivals on their campuses and students get converted to Methodism and join the YMCA and are accepted as gentlemen, it will be impossible to think of the South as civilized...The educated folk of the Old South took theology lightly, and religion to them was hardly more than a charming ritual, useful on solemn occassions.” ThinkingLongBeliefImpossibleStudentsCollegeSouthFolksAcceptedTheologyEducatedGentlemanCivilizedRitualSouthernSuperstitionsCharmingRevivalSolemnCampusYmca Author:H.

“If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backward 10 years later.” IfsYearsMightCoursesClassClearWonderfulImpossibleCollegeComputerWindowMultipleLooking BackLooking ForwardDotsMacsTypographyConnecting The DotsStanford UniversityFontsCalligraphyDropping OutPersonal ComputersTypefaces Author:Steve Jobs
