“I watched so many comic book movies where the actors weren't as built as the characters in the book. It made me mad because they didn't look right.” LooksMadeBookCharacterActorsBuiltMadComicComic Book Author:Joe Manganiello
“Our assaults on the ecosystem are so powerful, so numerous, so finely interconnected, that although the damage they do is clear, it is very difficult to discover how it was done. By which weapon? In whose hand? Are we driving the ecosphere to destruction simply by our growing numbers? By our greedy accumulation of wealth? Or are the machines which we have built to gain this wealth-the magnificent technology that now feeds us out of neat packages, that clothes us in man-made fibers, that surrounds us with new chemical creations-at fault?” MenMadeDoneHandsDifficultWealthPowerfulNumbersTechnologyClearGrowingCreationClothesWeaponsGainsBuiltDestructionMachinesFaultsEnvironmentalDrivingDamageSurroundChemicalsMagnificentAssaultGreedyPackagesAccumulationNeatEcosystemsFiberInterconnected Author:Barry Commoner
“Books are the way that we communicate with the dead. The way that we learn lessons from those who are no longer with us, that humanity has built on itself, progressed, made knowledge incremental rather than something that has to be relearned, over and over. There are tales that are older than most countries, tales that have long outlasted the cultures and the buildings in which they were first told.” WayFirstsLongMadeBookCountryHumanityCultureBuildingLessonsBuiltCommunicateTalesLearning Lessons Book:The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction Source: The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction
“Top management as a function and as a structure was first developed by Georg von Siemens (1839-1901) in Germany between 1870 and 1880, when he designed and built the Deutsche Bank and made it, within a very few years, into continental Europe's leading and most dynamic financial institution.” YearsFirstsMadeEuropeBuiltFunctionManagementInstitutionsStructureFinancialMade ItGermanyContinentalFinancial InstitutionsTop Management Author:Peter Drucker
“Our world is not an optimal place, fine tuned by omnipotent forces of selection. It is a quirky mass of imperfections, working well enough (often admirably); a jury-rigged set of adaptations built of curious parts made available by past histories in different contexts. A world optimally adapted to current environments is a world without history, and a world without history might have been created as we find it. History matters; it confounds perfection and proves that current life transformed its own past.” WorldWellsHas BeensMadeDifferentMatterEnoughMightPastForceEnvironmentFineProveMassBuiltPerfectionCurrentsAvailableCuriousOur WorldImperfectionTransformedSelectionMight Have BeenAdaptationJuryAdaptedQuirkyOmnipotentRiggedOptimal Author:Stephen Jay Gould
“if I hadn't gone to a private Christian school, I'd never have built up enough animosity to want to have started a band. And now that I have one, the fact that they are giving me such resistance and publicity, they have made me far bigger than they'd ever have wanted me to have become. So I guess in a strange way the Christians have influenced me the most.” IfsWayWantGivingMadeEnoughFactsWantedSchoolChristianGoneStrangeBandBuiltBiggerResistancePublicityAnimosityChristian Schools Author:Marilyn Manson
