“The unthinkable is that we're distorting this atmospheric balance. We're shifting the chemical balance so that we have more poisons in the atmosphere - ozones and acid rain on ground level - while we're also changing the thermal climate of the earth through the greenhouse effect and - get this - simultaneously causing destruction of our primary filter of ultraviolet light. It's incredible. Talk about the national-debt crisis - we're piling up debts in the atmosphere, and the piper will want to be paid.” WantLightEarthLevelsEffectsBalanceRainDestructionPaidCrisisClimateIncrediblesDebtPrimariesAtmospherePoisonGlobal WarmingChemicalsShiftingAcidFiltersUnthinkableGreenhousesNational DebtPipersOzoneThermalUltravioletAcid RainDebt Crisis Author:Michael Oppenheimer
“Competition can be viewed in two ways. It can be viewed in a negative light and be seen as destructive, but one can also have the view that it is competition that drives people and institutions to higher and higher levels of excellence and, therefore, to more and more opportunity.” PeopleWayTwoLightOpportunityLevelsViewsHigherNegativeInstitutionsCompetitionExcellenceDestructiveTwo WaysHigher Level Author:Lee R.

“Let those find fault whose wit's so very small, They've need to show that they can think at all; Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow; He who would search for pearls, must dive below. Fops may have leave to level all they can; As pigmies would be glad to lop a man.

“I'm actually a huge fan of digital as well. I appreciate how that technology opens the doors for filmmakers who never had access to that level of quality before. However, I do think film itself sets the standard for quality. You can talk about range, light, sensitive, resolution -- there's something about film that is undeniably beautiful, undeniably organic and natural and real.” ThinkingWellsRealLightBeautifulFilmNaturalLevelsQualityTechnologyDoorsFansHugeStandardsAppreciateAccessRangeSensitiveFilmmakerDigitalResolution Author:J.

“The history of the past fifty years, and longer, indicates that a diversified holding of representative common stocks will prove more profitable over a stretch of years than a bond portfolio, with one important provisio that the shares must be purchased at reasonable market levels, that is, levels that are reasonable in the light of fairly well-defined standards derived from past experience.” YearsWellsImportantLightPastLevelsCommonShareProveStandardsDefinedReasonableFiftyRepresentativesProfitablePortfoliosPast Experiences Book:The Intelligent Investor: A Book of Practical Counsel Source: The Intelligent Investor: A Book of Practical Counsel
“Obsessive use of meditative disciplines or perennial study of scripture and philosophy will never bring forth this wonderful realization, this truth which is natural to awareness, because the mind that desperately desires to reach another realm or level of experience inadvertently ignores the basic light that constitutes all experience.” MindPhilosophyUseLightDesireNaturalLevelsStudyWonderfulAwarenessDisciplineScriptureRealizationRealmsObsessive Author:Tilopa
“It does not try to reach down to the level of inferior classes; it does not try to win them for this or that sect of its own, with ready-made judgments and watchwords of its own. It seeks to away with classes, to make the best that has been taught and known in the world current everywhere, to make all men live in an atmosphere of sweetness and light, where they may use ideas, as it uses them itself, freely--nourished, and not bound by them.” MenWorldTryingMayDoeHas BeensMadeIdeasUseLightCultureWinningLevelsKnownClassTaughtReadyJudgmentBoundsCurrentsAtmosphereInferiorsSweetnessSects Author:Matthew Arnold

“This work of connecting our light to the world does not need to be done through a mass movement, or by millions of people. . . .The real work is always done by a small number of individuals.

“Essentially, in photography, I think on two levels: one emotional and the other technical. The emotional impact has to do with looking for something dramatic happening in the photograph, something that reaches out and touches somebody in some way. And the technical is having to do with composition and framing - light and dark, light and shadow.” ThinkingWayTwoLightDarkLevelsEmotionalPhotographyHappeningsShadowImpactPhotographDramaticReach OutCompositionLight And DarkFramingLight And Shadow Author:Leonard Nimoy
“Geometry is of much assistance in architecture, and in particular it teaches us the use of the rule and compasses, by which especially we acquire readiness in making plans for buildings in their grounds, and rightly apply the square, the level, and the plummet. By means of optics the light in buildings can be drawn from fixed quarters of the sky. Difficult questions involving symmetry are solved by means of geometrical theories and methods.” MeanUseLightDifficultLevelsTeachPlansSkyBuildingParticularTheoryMethodArchitectureFixedAcquireSquaresQuartersAssistanceCompassGeometryInvolvingReadinessSymmetryOpticsDifficult Questions Author:Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
“If you work in the city long enough, it begins to deal with you on a personal level. Streets reveal their moods. Sometimes the signal light loves you. Sometimes they fight you. When you're hunting for a new building, you hope the city is on your side. You have to use a little bit of thinking--you might call it the process of elimination--and you need a little bit of instinct, but not too much of either. If you think too hard, you overshoot your target and end up at the Pier or the Tenderloin. If you relax and let the city help, the destination does all the work for you.” IfsThinkingNeedsLittlesLongDoeEndsSometimesHardEnoughHelpingUseLightMightFightingBitsProcessSidesLevelsDealsCitiesToo MuchStreetsLove YouBuildingLittle BitInstinctMoodRelaxTargetDestinationHuntingSignalsYour SideEliminationPiers Author:Scott Adams
