“I view all art as an effort to translate brain concepts into a work. These brain concepts are synthetic ones - the result of many experiences. But a single work of art, or even a series of works, more often than not cannot translate these synthetic concepts adequately. Yves Saint Laurent once said that he suffered greatly when creating. He is not alone in that. Most artists do the same and say as much.” ArtSaidArtistSufferingResultsViewsEffortBrainCreatingConceptsSeriesSaintWorks Of ArtTranslateNot AloneSynthetic Author:Semir Zeki

“This is all about creating good jobs for middle-income Americans, and it's a place where the President, frankly, has failed.

“I have long been in favor of a balanced budget restriction at the level of the federal government of the United States. Because the federal government has money-creating powers it can, in fact, be very damaging if it runs a series of budget deficits. With the state government in the United States, they don't have money-creating powers. The automatic discipline imposed by the fact that they are in a common monetary unit and don't have control over the money power means that the balanced budget restriction is less needed.” IfsMeanLongStatesFactsGovernmentRunningLevelsUnitedCommonUnited StatesNeededDisciplineCreatingSeriesFavorsBudgetsBalancedUnitsFederal GovernmentDeficitRestrictionMonetaryState GovernmentMoney PowerBalanced BudgetBudget Deficit Author:James M.

“Five years after Boston 1967, I went to the Munich Olympics. I realized that major sponsorship could help me create the opportunity. I wrote a big proposal to Avon cosmetics on how creating a global series of women's races could lead to getting women in the Olympic marathon. People thought I was smoking poppy at the time.
