“I kind of enjoy the limits. If you've got no limits, you can do absolutely anything, it's very difficult, actually. I always enjoyed working with machines like color photocopiers and letter-pressing type settings, things where the limits are very apparent. You push the machine to do something, and it tries to do its best, and it usually has wonderful qualities all of its own. Then you get a sort of dialogue going, and the limitations become qualities.” IfsTryingKindEnjoyDifficultCan DoQualityWonderfulColorTypeLimitsLettersMachinesSettingDialogueSettingsEnjoyedLimitation Author:Dave McKean

“We can set no limit to human potentialities; all that is best in man can be bettered; it is not a question of producing a highly efficient machine, ... but of quickening all the distinctly human features, all that is best in man, all the different qualities, some obvious, some infinitely subtle, which we recognize as humanly excellent.” MenHumansDifferentQualityLimitsMachinesObviousExcellentFeaturesSubtleEfficientHuman PotentialQuickening Author:Ronald Fisher
“We had entered an era of limitlessness, or the illusion thereof, and this in itself is a sort of wonder. My grandfather lived a life of limits, both suffered and strictly observed, in a world of limits. I learned much of that world from him and others, and then I changed; I entered the world of labor-saving machines and of limitless cheap fossil fuel. It would take me years of reading, thought, and experience to learn again that in this world limits are not only inescapable but indispensable.” WorldYearsReadingWonderThis WorldChangedLimitsIllusionLaborMachinesSavingErasFuelTake MeGrandfatherIndispensableFossilsLimitlessMy GrandfatherFossil Fuel Book:Bringing It to the Table: On Farming and Food Source: Bringing It to the Table: On Farming and Food

“There is a thrill of vulnerability at all airshows. There is no way of making everything completely safe. When the machines are being thrashed to capacity and the pilots are flying at their limits to dazzle, things are bound to go wrong sometimes. There have been some historic disasters, but the danger is a part of the attraction.” WayHas BeensSometimesDangerSafeLimitsCapacityMachinesBoundsAttractionDisasterFlyingFlightVulnerabilityAviationPilotsThrillHistoricDazzle Author:Alex James
