The ultimate inspiration is the deadline.

No, Watson, this was not done by accident — but by design.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

There are moments in our lives,
there are moments in a day,
when we seem to see beyond the usual.
Such are the moments of our greatest happiness.
Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom.

It was in this hope that the arts were invented.
Sign-posts on the way to what may be.
Sign-posts toward greater knowledge.

A room without books is a body without a soul.

In dreams begins responsibility.

I have all that I requested
and I do not want what I haven’t got.
I have learned this from my mother;

I will take this road much further
though I know not where it takes me.

The words or language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought.

Form is emptiness
and the very emptiness is form;
Emptiness does not differ from form,
form does not differ from emptiness,
whatever is emptiness,
that is form.
The same is true of feelings,
perception, impulses,
and consciousness.

When we observes users in their natural environments, they behave in natural ways that they may not when sitting in a lab.
