"I don't like to make my life like a book."

-- Marc Newson

“Intending to run ahead of everyone is not an obstacle to fall behind. Streets are full of liars.”
“Finally I got to carbon, and as you all know, in the case of carbon the reaction works out beautifully. One goes through six reactions, and at the end one comes back to carbon. In the process one has made four hydrogen atoms into one of helium. The theory, of course, was not made on the railway train from Washington to Ithaca ... It didn't take very long, it took about six weeks, but not even the Trans-Siberian railroad [has] taken that long for its journey.”
“If history shows anything, it is that there's no better way to justify relations founded on violence, to make such relations seem moral, than by reframing them in the language of debtâ€”above all, because it immediately makes it seem that it's the victim who's doing something wrong.”

“I like the smell of a dunged field, and the tumult of a popular election.”
“It isn't necessary for a work to have a lot of things to look at, to compare, to analyze one by one, to contemplate. The thing as a whole, its quality whole, is what is interesting. The main things are alone and are more intense, clear and powerful.”
