The continuous invention of new ways of observing is man’s special secret of living Picture Quote #1

If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale. And then, when one wanted it, the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living the moment all over again Picture Quote #1

Books: a beautifully browsable invention that needs no electricity and exists in a readable form no matter what happens Picture Quote #1

The modern mocha is a bittersweet concoction of imperialism, genocide, invention, and consumerism served with whipped cream on top Picture Quote #1

Most artists are brought to their vocation when their own nascent gifts are awakened by the work of a master. That is to say, most artists are converted to art by art itself. Finding one’s voice isn’t just an emptying and purifying oneself of the words of others but an adopting and embracing of filiations, communities, and discourses. Inspiration could be called inhaling the memory of an act never experienced. Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void but out of chaos. Any artist knows these truths, no matter how deeply he or she submerges that knowing Picture Quote #1

Language, that most human invention, can enable what, in principle, should not be possible. It can allow all of us, even the congenitally blind, to see with another person’s eyes Picture Quote #1

Sleep was the greatest invention in the history of mankind. When I was sleeping, I wasn’t feeling guilty, or miserable, or sad Picture Quote #1

Witches never existed, except in people’s minds. All there was in the olden days was women and some men who believed in herbal cures and in folklore and in the wish to fly. Witches? We’re all witches in one way or another. Witches was the invention of mankind, son. We’re all witches beneath the skin Picture Quote #1

As you know, I don’t believe in fear, just an invention by men so they get all the money and good jobs Picture Quote #1

Do I love you because you’re beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? Am I making believe I see in you, a woman too perfect to be really true? Do I want you because you’re wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you? Are you the sweet invention of a lover’s dream, or are you really as beautiful as you seem? Picture Quote #1

An invention that is quickly accepted will turn out to be a rather trivial alteration of something that has already existed Picture Quote #1

The mathematician of today admits that he can neither square the circle, duplicate the cube or trisect the angle. May not our mechanicians, in like manner, be ultimately forced to admit that aerial flight is one of that great class of problems with which men can never cope... I do not claim that this is a necessary conclusion from any past experience. But I do think that success must await progress of a different kind from that of invention Picture Quote #1

Death seems to have been a rather late invention in evolution. One can go a long way in evolution before encountering an authentic corpse Picture Quote #1

Great inventions are never, and great discoveries are seldom, the work of any one mind. Every great invention is really an aggregation of minor inventions, or the final step of a progression. It is not usually a creation, but a growth, as truly so as is the growth of the trees in the forest Picture Quote #1

We’re all just a bundle of habits shaped by our memories. And to the extent that we control our lives, we do so by gradually altering those habits, which is to say the networks of our memory. No lasting joke, or invention, or insight, or work of art was ever produced by an external memory. Not yet, at least Picture Quote #1

Money is human kind’s greatest invention. Money doesn’t discriminate. Money doesn’t care whether a person is poor, whether a person comes from a good family, or what his skin color is. Anybody can make money Picture Quote #1

The lack of imagination or invention most people display in naming pussies is almost beyond credence Picture Quote #1

Man is made for science; he reasons from effects to causes, and from causes to effects; but he does not always reason without error. In reasoning, therefore, from appearances which are particular, care must be taken how we generalize; we should be cautious not to attribute to nature, laws which may perhaps be only of our own invention Picture Quote #1

All our civilization is based on invention; before invention, men lived on fruits and nuts and pine cones and slept in caves Picture Quote #1

The bulldozer and not the atomic bomb may turn out to be the most destructive invention of the 20th century Picture Quote #1

In the abstract art of cooking, ingredients trump appliances, passion supersedes expertise, creativity triumphs over technique, spontaneity inspires invention, and wine makes even the worst culinary disaster taste delicious Picture Quote #1

To be sure, the use of force by one party in a market transaction in order to improve his price was no invention of capitalism. Unequal exchange is an ancient practice. What was remarkable about capitalism as a historical system was the way in which this unequal exchange could be hidden; indeed, hidden so well that it is only after five hundred years of the operation of this mechanism that even the avowed opponents of the system have begun to unveil it systematically Picture Quote #1

The place of the arts in the classroom is essential in encouraging invention, ambition, and an understanding of the importance and pleasures of living an examined life Picture Quote #1

Home is the place you return to when you have finally lost your soul. Home is the place where life is born, not the place of your birth, but the place where you seek rebirth. When you no longer have to remember which tale of your own past is true and which is an invention, when you know that you are an invention, then is the time to seek out your home. Perhaps only when you have come to understand that can you finally reach home Picture Quote #1

The most important invention that will come out of the corporate research lab in the future will be the corporation itself Picture Quote #1

In love, fidelity signifies this extended victory: the randomness of an encounter defeated day after day through the invention of what will endure Picture Quote #1

Race is an invention, not a noticeable genetic presence, and cultural traits are brute concoctions of the social sciences Picture Quote #1
