Text Quotes
The day we learn to allow an ambulance to pass through in traffic, might be the first step towards being a truly responsible society  (Raf Quotes) Changing the direction of a large company is like trying to turn an aircraft carrier. It takes a mile before anything happens. And if it was a wrong turn, getting back on course takes even longer  (Raf Quotes) To grow in craft is to increase the bredth of what I can do, but art is the depth, the passion, the desire, the courage to be myself and myself alone  (Raf Quotes) Design is in everything we make, but it’s also between those things. It’s a mix of craft, science, storytelling, propaganda, and philosophy  (Raf Quotes) The very act of committing an experience to the page is necessarily an act of reduction, and regardless of craft or skill, vision or voice, the result is a story beholden to and inevitably eclipsed by source material  (Raf Quotes) I don’t write a quick draft and then revise; instead, I work slowly page by page, revising and polishing  (Raf Quotes) The reality is that we do not have an air traffic control system that is smart enough and technologically capable enough to be able to handle that kind of demand  (Raf Quotes) People say what we’re doing is holding out when in reality the teams are trying to crush the draft market because they don’t want to pay fair market value  (Raf Quotes) In taking stock of a politician, the first question is not whether he was a good man who used righteous means, but whether he was successful in gaining power, in keeping it, and in governing; whether, in short, he was skilful at his particular craft or a bungler  (Raf Quotes) It’s not hard to make a space that looks good by itself. The trick is to craft a room that’s even more attractive when it’s occupied. That’s when it becomes magical  (Raf Quotes) The military mind always imagines that the next war will be on the same lines as the last. That has never been the case and never will be. One of the great factors on the next war will be aircraft obviously. The potentialities of aircraft attack on a large scale are almost incalculable  (Raf Quotes) A small craft in the ocean is, or should be, a benevolent dictatorship. The skipper’s brain is the vessel’s brain and he must give up his soul to her, regardless of his own feelings or inclinations  (Raf Quotes) Every flying machine has its own unique characteristics, some good, some not so good. Pilots naturally fly the craft in such a manner as to take advantage of its good characteristics and avoid the areas where it is not so good  (Raf Quotes) The pilot is still the pilot, whether he is at a remote console or on the flight deck. With the potential for thousands of these unmanned aircraft in use years from now, the standards for pilot training need to be set high to ensure that those on the ground and other users of the airspace are not put in jeopardy  (Raf Quotes) The initial organization of the brain does not depend that much on experience. Nature provides a first draft, which experience then revises  (Raf Quotes) Women get consumed. Not surprising, considering the sheer amount of traffic a woman’s body experiences. Tampons and speculums. Cocks, fingers, vibrators and more, between the legs, from behind, in the mouth  (Raf Quotes) It doesn’t ever occur to you, as you fashion your mask so carefully, that it will grow into your skin and graft itself, come to seem irremovable  (Raf Quotes) The international community faces ever growing phenomena that transcend borders. I am specifically referring to terrorism, transnational organized crime, the global drug problem, corruption, traffic in persons, sexual exploitation, trafficking of children and adolescents, and smuggling of arms, among others  (Raf Quotes) Listening is like running down a mountain on a switchback trail, the sound of surprise generating its own momentum. There’s a punk glee inside the bluegrass craft–and a punk vehemence inside the bluegrass smile  (Raf Quotes) People are the only animals that drink the milk of the mother of another species. All other animals stop drinking milk altogether after weaning. It is unnatural for a dog to nurse from a mother giraffe; it is just as unnatural for a human being to drink the milk of a cow  (Raf Quotes) It is utterly implausible that a mathematical formula should make the future known to us, and those who think it can would once have believed in witchcraft  (Raf Quotes) Graffiti is linear and it’s done with a pencil, and it’s like writing on walls. But in my paintings it’s more lyrical  (Raf Quotes) I have always been interested in conducting research that yielded new methods by which to make cloth, and in developing new materials that combine craftsmanship and new technology. But the most important thing for me is to show that, ultimately, technology is not the most important tool; it is our brains, our thoughts, our hands, our bodies, which express the most essential things  (Raf Quotes) The real challenge in crafting strategy lies in detecting subtle discontinuities that may undermine a business in the future. And for that there is no technique, no program, just a sharp mind in touch with the situation  (Raf Quotes) People enquire as to the craft behind our art and we reply by making references to a patently childish notion  (Raf Quotes) We are more likely to fail as craftsmen due to our inability to organize obsession than because of our lack of ability  (Raf Quotes) Our modern economy privileges pure profit, momentary transactions and rapid fluidity. Part of craft’s anchoring role is that it helps to objectify experience and also to slow down labor. It is not about quick transactions or easy victories. That slow tempo of craftwork, of taking the time you need to do something well, is profoundly stabilizing to individuals  (Raf Quotes) A mediocre man copying nature will never produce a work of art, because he really looks without seeing, and though he may have noted each detail minutely, the result will be flat and without character... the artist on the contrary, sees; that is to say, his eye, grafted on his heart, reads deeply into the bosom of nature  (Raf Quotes) You don’t think much of the individual, because you don’t think you’ve hit him and you hope that he will bail out or something; it’s the aeroplane you’ve hit... normally it was more of a game if you like, you were outwitting and shooting down another aircraft, you were simply hitting metal  (Raf Quotes) The current memoir craze has fostered the belief that confession is therapeutic, that therapy is redemptive and that redemption equals art, and it has encouraged the delusion that candor, daring and shamelessness are substitutes for craft, that the exposed life is the same thing as an examined one  (Raf Quotes)
