“In a democracy, every ordinary citizen is effectively a king--but a king in a constitutional democracy, a monarch who decides only formally, whose function is merely to sign off on measures proposed by an executive administration.

“Designers are optimistic people who are trained to be courageous about the futureâ€”and making the future happen. They arenâ€™t always aware of the intricacies of operations and the impacts of the solutions they propose, just like entrepreneurs, but they arenâ€™t afraid of confronting a blank piece of paper (or screen or board) and getting to work making something new.”
“When the Dark comes rising six shall turn it back; Three from the circle, three from the track; Wood, bronze, iron; Water, fire, stone; Five will return and one go alone. Iron for the birthday; bronze carried long; Wood from the burning; stone out of song; Fire in the candle ring; water from the thaw; Six signs the circle and the grail gone before. Fire on the mountain shall find the harp of gold Played to wake the sleepers, oldest of old. Power from the Green Witch, lost beneath the sea. All shall find the Light at last, silver on the tree.”
