Text Quotes
Japan’s very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don’t think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that’s already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor. (Copies Quotes)
It’s a blessing and a curse when your first big public album does so well. ‘Twentysomething’ sold four million copies - I think we were hoping to sell 80,000. And it’s still selling. In some ways, you’ll always be defined by that. (Copies Quotes)
I challenge those who are in business and other professions to see that there are copies of the Book of Mormon in their reception rooms. (Copies Quotes)
In my ideal world, my next novel would have a first printing of, say, 2,500 hardcovers for reviewers, libraries, collectors, and autograph hounds. The publisher could print more copies if they get low. And simultaneously, or six weeks later, the book would be available in paperback. (Copies Quotes)
Thomas Friedman’s ‘The World is Flat’ sold more copies in India than in the U.K. The market for go-getting business books or wonkish tomes by corporate moguls posing as philosopher kings has grown dramatically in modernising China and India. (Copies Quotes)
My first book was a car crash. I tried to find all the copies and destroy them. (Copies Quotes)
Tom Paine was a great American visionary. His book, Common Sense, sold a couple of hundred thousand copies in a population of four or five million. That means it was a best seller for years. People were thoughtful then. Hope is one thing. But you need to have hope with thought. (Copies Quotes)
We got involved with the RepRap Project, a community focused on making 3-D printers that could make copies of themselves and help create a world without money. We started making prototypes. (Copies Quotes)
Computers are wasteful of paper and time. Once, we’d get documents with a few errors. Now, people make hundreds of copies until each sheet is flawless and memos are duplicated endlessly. Managers get swamped with emails. (Copies Quotes)
I feel that contemporary music, with very few exceptions, is missing the voice. You see an award show, you see a hundred extras on set dancing and special effects, and you don’t see that solo voice that was the trademark of Adele. It’s no accident that it was her album that ended up selling 27 million copies worldwide. (Copies Quotes)
God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other. This prayer was first printed in a monthly bulletin of the Federal Council of Churches and has become enormously popular. It has been circulated in millions of copies. (Copies Quotes)
Digital books and music are often different from their physical counterparts in that consumers buy licences to a work, revocable under an ongoing contract, rather than their own copies. (Copies Quotes)
Digital books are still painfully ugly and weirdly irritating to interact with. They look like copies of paper, but they can’t be designed or typeset in the same way as paper, and however splendid the cover images may look on a hi-res screen, they’re still images rather than physical things. (Copies Quotes)
I have a bunch of headshots that I like to throw at people - with some backups. I give them like three copies just so they don’t forget me. (Copies Quotes)
It was a bland, tranquilized, life-adjusted, group-integrated sort of face -- the face turned out in thousands of copies every year by the educational production lines on Terra. (Copies Quotes)
I think it’s counterproductive for actors to come to the set with well-thumbed copies of the book their film is adapted from. (Copies Quotes)
My first book was so horrible I have deleted all copies of it. Thankfully, it was before the Internet, so there are no lurking caches of it anywhere. (Copies Quotes)
The problem with Ebola is that it makes mistakes while it copies itself. The mistakes are actually good for Ebola because they help Ebola change, and as a result of this, as it jumps from one human body to the next, roughly half the time, it’s got a mutation. (Copies Quotes)
