Very Quotes

Every intellectual effort sets us apart from the commonplace, and leads us by hidden and difficult paths to secluded spots where we find ourselves amid unaccustomed thoughts Picture Quote #1

By speaking, by thinking, we undertake to clarify things, and that forces us to exacerbate them, dislocate them, schematize them. Every concept is in itself an exaggeration Picture Quote #1

Every life is, more or less, a ruin among whose debris we have to discover what the person ought to have been Picture Quote #1

Unless we include a job as part of every citizen's right to autonomy and personal fulfillment, women will continue to be vulnerable to someone else's idea of what need is Picture Quote #1

As wise women and men in every culture tell us: The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us Picture Quote #1

Now, we've made the revolutionary discovery that children have two parents. A decade ago even the kindly Dr. Spock held mothers solely responsible for children Picture Quote #1

Unless we see a job as part of every citizen's right to autonomy and personal fulfillment, we will continue to be vulnerable to someone else's idea of what need is, and whose need counts the most Picture Quote #1

Obviously, untangling sex from aggression and violence or the threat of it is going to take a very long time. And the process is going to be greatly resisted as a challenge to the very heart of male dominance and male centrality Picture Quote #1

I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in 'Night.' I questioned God's silence. So I questioned. I don't have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it Picture Quote #1

There is a difference between a book of two hundred pages from the very beginning, and a book of two hundred pages which is the result of an original eight hundred pages. The six hundred are there. Only you don't see them Picture Quote #1

For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile Picture Quote #1

If someone had told us in 1945 that in our lifetime religious wars would rage on virtually every continent, that thousands of children would once again be dying of starvation, we would not have believed it. Or that racism and fanaticism would flourish once again, we would not have believed it Picture Quote #1

Granted that every war is madness - civil war, fratricide, is the worst of all; it reaches deeper into ugliness, cruelty and absurdity Picture Quote #1

You have the right to kill me, but you don't have the right to judge me. That's life. There's nobility in that. There's focus. It's genuine. It's crystal and it's pure and it's available to everybody, so just shut your traps and put down your McDonalds, your vaccines, your Us Weekly, your TMZ and the rest of it Picture Quote #1

A first-generation fortune is the most likely to be given away, but once a fortune is inherited it's less likely that a very high percentage will go back to society Picture Quote #1

Although I don't have a prescription for what others should do, I know I have been very fortunate and feel a responsibility to give back to society in a very significant way Picture Quote #1

Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There's a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning Picture Quote #1

Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so exciting Picture Quote #1

Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy Picture Quote #1

The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don't really even notice it, so it's part of everyday life Picture Quote #1

Almost every way we make electricity today, except for the emerging renewables and nuclear, puts out CO2. And so, what we're going to have to do at a global scale, is create a new system. And so, we need energy miracles Picture Quote #1

Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself Picture Quote #1

Now, we put out a lot of carbon dioxide every year, over 26 billion tons. For each American, it's about 20 tons. For people in poor countries, it's less than one ton. It's an average of about five tons for everyone on the planet. And, somehow, we have to make changes that will bring that down to zero Picture Quote #1

Until we're educating every kid in a fantastic way, until every inner city is cleaned up, there is no shortage of things to do Picture Quote #1

Instead of buying airplanes and playing around like some of our competitors, we've rolled almost everything back into the company Picture Quote #1

About 3 million computers get sold every year in China, but people don't pay for the software. Someday they will, though. As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade Picture Quote #1

Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so irritating Picture Quote #1

We're no longer in the days where everything is super well crafted. But at the heart of the programs that make it to the top, you'll find that the key internal code was done by a few people who really know what they were doing Picture Quote #1

Programs today get very fat; the enhancements tend to slow the programs down because people put in special checks. When they want to add some feature, they'll just stick in these checks without thinking how they might slow the thing down Picture Quote #1

Every success story has a parent who says, 'over my dead body.' Every success story has an old person who walks up to you and says, when you're acting the fool, 'you know I worry about you sometimes.' Picture Quote #1
