“Oh, I never meant, in my old age, to become subject to the thrall of a love like this; it is almost dreadful, so absorbing, so stirring down to the deeps. For the tiny creature is so old and wise and sweet, and so fascinating in his sturdy common sense and clear intelligence; and his affection for me is a wonderful, exquisite thing, the sweetest flower that has bloomed for me in all my life through.” AgeCommonClearWiseWonderfulSubjectsSweetFlowerCreaturesAffectionTinyCommon SenseOld AgeFascinatingGrandparentExquisiteSweetestStirringAbsorbingSturdyOld And Wise Book:Letters of Celia Thaxter Source: Letters of Celia Thaxter
“The Hawk and the Dove is a wonderful idea for a book, wonderfully carried out. Nicholas Thompson has used illuminating new material to present each of his protagonists in a convincing, respectful, but unsparing way. Even more valuable, he has used the interactions and tensions between Paul Nitze and George Kennan to bring much of American 20th century foreign policy to life, with human richness ever present but with the big issues clear in all their complexity.” WayHumansBookIdeasBigsUsedIssuesClearWonderfulCenturyPolicyMaterialsValuableTensionComplexityForeign PolicyInteraction20th CenturyConvincingRichnessRespectfulDoveHawksProtagonistsIlluminating Author:James Fallows
“I don't expect that the scientific community now embraces and kisses me 'Oh wonderful, great you did!' we have to live with critics, this is normal. Chariots of the Gods was full of speculation, I had 238 question marks. Nobody read the question mark. They always said: Mr. Von Daniken is saying... I did not say, I asked the questions, would that be a posibility? In Chariots of the Gods, I made clear difference between a speculations and facts.” MadeSaidFactsCommunityDifferencesClearWonderfulKissingNormalMarkEmbraceCriticsSpeculationKiss MeChariotsQuestion Mark Author:Erich von Däniken
“Science is a match that man has just got alight. He thought he was in a room - in moments of devotion, a temple - and that his light would be reflected from and display walls inscribed with wonderful secrets and pillars carved with philosophical systems wrought into harmony. It is a curious sensation, now that the preliminary splutter is over and the flame burns up clear, to see his hands and just a glimpse of himself and the patch he stands on visible, and around him, in place of all that human comfort and beauty he anticipated - darkness still.” MenHumansStillsMomentsHandsLightWould BeRoomsSecretDarknessClearWonderfulWallComfortHarmonyPhilosophicalDevotionCuriousFlamesVisibleTemplesSensationsDisplayGlimpsePatchesPillars Book:The Island of Doctor Moreau Source: The Island of Doctor Moreau
“If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backward 10 years later.” IfsYearsMightCoursesClassClearWonderfulImpossibleCollegeComputerWindowMultipleLooking BackLooking ForwardDotsMacsTypographyConnecting The DotsStanford UniversityFontsCalligraphyDropping OutPersonal ComputersTypefaces Author:Steve Jobs
