"I never felt like I had a mother."

-- Quincy Jones

“I want to keep people engaged and I want them to feel connected to what I'm doing.”
“Both expectations and memories are more than mere images founded on previous experience.”
“When your institution is under assault, you're feeling like the weight is on it and the history might be flowing away, don't turn inward, go outward.”
“The terrible thing about free soloing difficult routes that are within one's capacity, is the chance that faced with ultimate danger and need for ultimate self-control, one's nerve might fail and cause an error. That's irony of it - that fear could short-circiut skill, that one would die as a direcy result of being afraid to die.”
“In Moscaâ€™s experience, a â€˜long storyâ€™ was always a short story someone did not want to tell.”
“If you paint a building shocking pink, that has no scale, it is just a huge mistake, but it's not in the scale of the city to have things like that. You know. So, not only because it's not appropriate, not only because it's offensive to the environment, I mean but among them also because that quantity of that color in the urban scale, is out of scale.”
“Many childrens writers dont have children of their own”
“But take comfort in that I die at peace with the world and myself - not afraid.”
