“L.A. is so much about ratings and box office; that defines everything. And here, of course it's important, but it's not part of the culture - there's too much else going on in New York. They're not going to let one industry monopolize your attention, you know? You're likely to have best friends who are architects or newspaper reporters.” KnowsImportantCultureCoursesAttentionToo MuchNew YorkIndustryOfficeBoxesNewspapersArchitectReportersRatingBox OfficeNewspaper Reporters Author:Dylan Walsh
“I know publishing now more as an author than with occasional peaks inside those elite offices than as an industry insider.

“As a rule, from what I've observed, the American Captain of Industry doesn't do anything out of business hours. When he has put the cat out and locked up the office for the night, he just relapses into a state of coma from which he emerges only to start being a Captain of Industry again.” StatesNightHoursIndustryOfficeCapitalismCatLockedCaptainsTry AgainLocked UpComaRelapseCaptains Of Industry Book:Enter Jeeves: 15 Early Stories Source: Enter Jeeves: 15 Early Stories

“While the focus in the landscape of Old World cities was commonly government structures, churches, or the residences of rulers, the landscape and the skyline of American cities have boasted their hotels, department stores, office buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers.

“To have the external pressure of a job removed is very astonishing. Your own will is now your only motor and it has no horse-power. Sometimes I think that perhaps the most competent business men, and lawyers and doctors, who must be at the office at nine o'clock every morning, do not realize this and take more credit for initiative and industry than they deserve. And it is why all the bright women of the world, who if more were expected of them, might do important work, but who instead have a chronic feeling of ineffectiveness and sloth.” IfsThinkingMenWorldImportantSometimesFeelingsMightJobsRealizingWorkMorningIndustryOfficeDeserveDoctorsHorsePressureCreditExpectedLawyerNineEmploymentClockInitiativeEvery MorningIdlenessMotorAstonishingDoctor WhoCompetentSlothBusiness ManImportant WorkIneffectiveness Author:Brenda Ueland

“One of my jobs was at a start-up ad agency. They were trying to do things differently, work with socially conscious clients, and to really be a more creative take on advertising than the industry itself. But I noticed that what the guys at the office were circulating for inspiration still came from within the ad industry. I thought that was really counterintuitive - to only borrow inspiration from within your own industry.” TryingStillsInspirationJobsGuyCreativeIndustryOfficeConsciousAdvertisingAgencyAdsClients Author:Maria Popova
“As a new president takes office and elevates global warming alarmism to official federal policy, much of America is experiencing record low temperatures.

“I must say that when I first learned of the existence of the Australian Greenhouse Office, I assumed it was responsible for supplying tomatoes to the Parliament House kitchen. But, no, as I soon learnt as industry minister, it was in fact a government funded redoubt of veritable soldiers in a war against carbon dioxide. The zealotry and obsessive passion of these warriors in the battle against the apparent evils of carbon dioxide remains a curiosity to me. After fighting these people for three years as industry minister, I really did wish they would just go away and grow tomatoes.” PeopleYearsFirstsWarFactsGovernmentFightingPassionThreeEvilHouseWishGrowsExistenceIndustryBattleOfficeResponsibleRemainsCuriositySoldierWarriorMinistersKitchenGoing AwayThree YearsCarbonParliamentAustralianObsessiveTomatoesGreenhousesCarbon DioxideZealotry Author:Nick Minchin
