“The full history of the interlocking participation of the Imperial German Government and international finance in the destruction of the Russian Empire is not yet written...It is not a mere coincidence that at the notorious meeting held at Stockholm in 1916, between the former Russian Minister of the Interior, Protopopoff, and the German Agents, the German Foreign Office was represented by Mr. Warburg, whose two brothers were members of the international banking firm, Kuhn, Loeb and Company, of which the late Mr. Jacob Schiff was a senior member.” TwoGovernmentCompanyWrittenBrotherMembersOfficeLateDestructionMeetingsMereInternationalJewFinanceAgentsFormerFirmMinistersEmpiresCoincidenceSeniorParticipationInteriorsBankingJacobNotoriousTwo BrothersStockholm Author:Boris Brasol

“But once an original book has been written - and no more than one or two appear in a century - men of letters imitate it, in other words, they copy it so that hundreds of thousands of books are published on exactly the same theme, with slightly different titles and modified phraseology. This should be able to be achieved by apes, who are essentially imitators, provided, of course, that they are able to make use of language.” MenShouldWritingHas BeensTwoBookDifferentUseAbleCoursesLanguageWrittenCenturyLettersOriginalsTitlesThemeCopiesApesImitatorUse Of Language Book:Planet of the Apes Source: Planet of the Apes
“I had two projects that fell apart during preproduction. The first one was this movie that Judd Apatow and I had written about two guys following the Rolling Stones. It was going to be half concert film, half pseudo-documentary. It was Mick Jagger's idea.The other one was Simple Plan, based on a novel by Scott Smith.

“The weirdest thing I've been fascinated with nowadays is the new contemporary country music, which to me sounds like very strange '70s pop, and sometimes like rock music. But some of the themes in there - maybe it's because I know how the songs were written, but it really does sound like it was written by two or three people, with the idea to appeal to the most general audience.” PeopleKnowsDoeTwoIdeasCountrySometimesSongThreeSoundAudienceKnow HowWrittenRocksStrangePopsContemporaryAppealsThemeFascinatedRock Music Author:Ryan Adams
“A book may lie dormant for fifty years or for two thousand years in a forgotten corner of a library, only to reveal, upon being opened, the marvels or the abysses that it contains, or the line that seems to have been written for me alone.

“How hard is it to build an intelligent machine? I don't think it's so hard, but that's my opinion, and I've written two books on how I think one should do it. The basic idea I promote is that you mustn't look for a magic bullet. You mustn't look for one wonderful way to solve all problems. Instead you want to look for 20 or 30 ways to solve different kinds of problems. And to build some kind of higher administrative device that figures out what kind of problem you have and what method to use.” ThinkingWayWantShouldLooksKindTwoBookIdeasDifferentHardUseProblemOpinionWonderfulWrittenMagicFiguresHigherMachinesIntelligentMethodSolveDevicesArtificial IntelligenceDifferent KindsBulletsAdministrativeIntelligent Machines Author:Marvin Minsky
