"Only that which can be switched, can be."

Friedrich Kittler

“A man cannot be comfortable [or cannot be made comfortable] without his own approval.”
“I think any start has to be a false start because really thereâ€™s no way to start. You just have to force yourself to sit down and turn off the quality censor. And you have to keep the censor off, or you start second-guessing every other sentence. Sometimes the suspicion of a possible false start comes through, and you have to suppress it to keep writing. But it gets more persistent. And the moment you know itâ€™s really a false start is when you start â€¦ itâ€™s hard to put into words.”
“I felt that one of the things God impressed on me was that I needed to start a nonprofit corporation, so that any money that came my way, whether it was an honorarium, a book sale or a gift, would go into a nonprofit ministry.”
“Raising awareness on the most pressing environmental issues of our time is more important than ever.”
“By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote.”
“I used to pretend that I was Tom attacking Jerry, who was drawn on the ball”
“The leaders I met, whatever walk of life they were from, whatever institutions they were presiding over, always referred back to the same failure something that happened to them that was personally difficult, even traumatic, something that made them feel that desperate sense of hitting bottom-as something they thought was almost a necessity. It's as if at that moment the iron entered their soul; that moment created the resilience that leaders need.”
“You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”
