“Savage peoples are ruled by passion, civilized peoples by the mind. The difference lies not in the respective natures of savagery and civilization, but in their attendant circumstances, institutions, and so forth. The difference, therefore, does not operate in every sense, but it does in most of them. Even the most civilized peoples, in short, can be fired with passionate hatred for each other.” MindDoeLyingPassionDifferencesCircumstancesCivilizationHatredInstitutionsPassionateCivilizedSavagesSavagery Author:Carl von Clausewitz
“If you don't love where you are right now, you won't love where you are going. Here is what I know: People who are passionate about what they do every day and love where they are in life are the fortunate ones. They have discovered their purpose.

“I am a design chauvinist. I believe that good design is magical and not to be lightly tinkered with. The difference between a great design and a lousy one is in the meshing of the thousand details that either fit or don't, and the spirit of the passionate intellect that has tied them together, or tried. That's why programming - or buying software - on the basis of "lists of features" is a doomed and misguided effort. The features can be thrown together, as in a garbage can, or carefully laid together and interwoven in elegant unification, as in APL, or the Forth language, or the game of chess.” BelieveTogetherSpiritGamesLanguageI BelieveDifferencesEffortDesignFitThousandBasesPassionateDetailsIntellectListsChessFeaturesProgrammingBuyingThrownSoftwareTiedDoomedElegantGarbageMisguidedGood DesignUnificationGreat DesignGarbage Cans Author:Ted Nelson
