Dio Quotes

Golf is a terrible, hopeless addiction, it seems: it makes its devotees willing to trudge miles in any manner of weather, lugging a huge, incommodious and appallingly heavy bag with them, in pursuit of a tiny and fantastically expensive ball, in a fanatical attempt to direct it into a hole the size of a beer glass half a mile away. If anything could be better calculated to convince one of the essential lunacy of the human race, I haven’t found it Picture Quote #1

The only way we can develop muscle is through regular exercise. As soon as we stop stretching and working toward higher ethics, our standards start to sag. The muscle gets soft, and instead of excellence we have to settle for mediocrity. Maybe something even worse Picture Quote #1

Discipline in typography is a prime virtue. Individuality must be secured by means that are rational. Distinction needs to be won by simplicity and restraint. It is equally true that these qualities need to be infused wiht a certain spirit and vitality, or they degenerate into dullness and mediocrity Picture Quote #1

The studio is an extension of the sandbox and the kindergarten playroom. It has a dynamic unlike any office or factory. It’s a room at the service of a dreamer on her way to becoming a master Picture Quote #1

Innovation is a twofold threat to academic mediocrities: it endangers their oracular authority, and it evokes the deeper fear that their whole, laboriously constructed intellectual edifice might collapse Picture Quote #1

All the public systems – administration, justice, education and political are designed to keep people with knowledge out. Such a system promotes mediocrity Picture Quote #1

I try to remind people, whether you have a growth manager or a value manager, you’re going to go through cycles where you think you have a village idiot Picture Quote #1

Choosing individual stocks without any idea of what you’re looking for is like running through a dynamite factory with a burning match. You may live, but you’re still an idiot Picture Quote #1

Springsteen on that record started writing less about having your wind in your hair and turning the radio up and more about being dragged down by adult things. Regular people trying to get ahead. A little less mythical and romantic, and more real. It’s a really spectacular record for that reason Picture Quote #1

This is an awesome time to be a knowledge seeker, no better time, but it’s also the best time in history to be a complete idiot Picture Quote #1

Freeform radio is an art form. The airwaves are the empty canvas, the producer is the artist, and the sound is the paint Picture Quote #1

Love is not an option. It’s the choice of an idiot who wants to end with nothing, robbed and abused and humiliated Picture Quote #1

I have always hated crowds. I like deserts, prisons, and monasteries. I have discovered, too, that there are fewer idiots at 3000 meters above sea level than down below Picture Quote #1

I believe that creativity is a product of intelligence. I don’t believe that creative work can be produced by fools, dullards, or mediocre people, except in the rarest of accidents. Creativity is a product of desire, thought, experience, experimentation and inner conviction. Taken together, these five qualities imply intelligence and commitment Picture Quote #1

Channel your emotion into the excellence of doing something rather than the mediocrity of deciding whether or not to do it Picture Quote #1

Graphic design is a visual language uniting harmony and balance, color and light, scale and tension, form and content. But it is also an idiomatic language, a language of cues and puns and symbols and allusions, of cultural references and perceptual inferences that challenge both the intellect and the eye Picture Quote #1

Idiots have always been exploited, and this is only right. The day they cease to be, they will triumph, and the world will be lost Picture Quote #1

Mine is an enthusiastic and dionysian pessimism, like a flame that sets my vital exuberance ablaze, that mocks at any theoretical, scientific or moral prison Picture Quote #1

Making mistakes is the privilege of the active. It is always the mediocre people who are negative, who spend their time proving that they were not wrong Picture Quote #1

We wish to become one thing or another, rather we wish to become everything and in this pursuit of becoming everything we only end up becoming idiots Picture Quote #1

People who truly have control over time always have some in their pocket to give to someone in need. A sense of priorities drives their use of time and it can shift away from the ordinary work that’s easy to justify, in favor of the more ethereal, deeper things that are harder to justify. They protect their time from trivia and idiocy; these people are time rich. They provide themselves with a surplus of time. They might seem to idle, or relax more often than the rest, but that just might be a sign of their mastery, not their incompetence Picture Quote #1

The temptation many creative people I know have is to strive for popularity. To make, do, and say things that other people like in the hopes of pleasing them. This motivation is nice. And sometimes the end result is good. But often what happens in trying so hard to please other people, especially many other people, the result is mediocre Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be in front of the camera forever. I’m not thirsty. I’m not a pop star. I don’t want to reign over all forever. I don’t want to be famous! It makes me feel sick, the thought of being a famous person. It’s just not me. I’m the happiest when I’m in the studio, not on a beauty parade Picture Quote #1

Hateful, blasphemous, prejudiced, vulgar, rude, or ignorant remarks are the music of a free society, and the relentless patter of idiots is how we know we’re in one. When all the words in our public conversation are fair, good, and true, it’s time to make a run for the fence Picture Quote #1

Patriarchy is not men. Patriarchy is a system in which both women and men participate. It privileges, inter alia, the interests of boys and men over the bodily integrity, autonomy, and dignity of girls and women. It is subtle, insidious, and never more dangerous than when women passionately deny that they themselves are engaging in it Picture Quote #1

This generation, our generation of people who benefited, must always be the pioneers who look to younger people and say mediocrity is not accommodated in what we do Picture Quote #1

When I’m in the car and somebody comes on the radio singing the high notes, I try to sing along Picture Quote #1

While photography is the easiest medium in which to be competent, it is the hardest in which to develop an idiosyncratic personal vision Picture Quote #1

Making music is a lifestyle; go to the studio and sit in front of your computer, drum machine or guitar for 10 hours a day. The good stuff will come Picture Quote #1

In life, it’s between choosing risk and striving for greatness, or risking nothing and being certain of mediocrity Picture Quote #1
