“You cannot hammer a girl into anything. She grows as a flower does, she will wither without sun; she will decay in her sheath as a narcissus will if you do not give her air enough; she might fall and defile her head in dust if you leave her without help at some moments in her life; but you cannot fetter her; she must take her own fair form and way if she take any.” IfsWayGivingDoeEnoughMomentsHelpingMightFormFallGirlGrowsGrowthSunAirFlowerFairsDustDecayHammersFettersNarcissus Book:Essays and Letters Selected from the Writings of John Ruskin Source: Essays and Letters Selected from the Writings of John Ruskin
“It seems to me absolutely true, that our world, which appears to us the surface of all things, is really the bottom of a deep ocean: all our trees are submarine growths, and we are weird, scaly-clad submarine fauna, feeding ourselves on offal like shrimps. Only occasionally the soul rises gasping through the fathomless fathoms under which we live, far up to the surface of the ether, where there is true air.” WorldSoulSeemsGrowthAirTreeOceanAll ThingsBottomSurfaceOur WorldFeedingFathomSubmarinesShrimpDeep OceanOffal Book:Delphi Complete Works of D.H.

“Certain countries long ago succeeded where the U.S. has failed in commercializing their air traffic control systems, putting them in the hands of private or quasi-private operators able to raise capital, charge fees, and invest in growth, free of meddling by congressional pork barons. You want a drone-friendly air traffic control system? This is the place to start. Our FAA isn't blindly anti-drone but simply marooned in a system that still needs thousands of eyeballs gazing at radar terminals and out of cockpit windshields.” WantNeedsLongStillsCountryHandsAbleCertainGrowthAirRaisesFriendlyLong AgoTrafficFeesRadarDronesGazingPorkOperatorsEyeballsMeddlingCockpitAir Traffic ControlTraffic Control Author:Holman W.

“"Motherboard," for me, has four different levels: the bottom part is the water, vegetation, and growth. The second part is the world with figures and animals; there's chaos and civilization. The third part is the digital zone - these red things are turning into really loud digital sounds. Then the fourth level is like ether and things turning into air. This idea of how we're becoming partly digitalized is really interesting to me.” WorldIdeasDifferentSoundGrowthWaterAnimalInterestingLevelsFourAirFiguresBecomingCivilizationRedThirdsChaosBottomLoudZoneDigitalFourthReally InterestingDifferent LevelsVegetation Author:Ali Banisadr

“The problems that are arising at Johannesburg International Airport are because of the growth of volume, not because of inefficiencies at the Airport. But, the growth in movement of goods by air means that cargo capacity needs to be improved.
