Dean Acheson
I don't think anybody would argue now that the Internet isn't becoming a major factor in our lives. However, it's very new to us.
Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people over the Internet.
Douglas Adams
I think that growing up in a crowded continent like Europe with an awful lot of competing claims, ideas... cultures... and systems of
thought, we have, perforce, developed a more sophisticated notion of what the word freedom
means than I see much evidence of in America.
Douglas Adams
I think that the digital media are interesting enough in their own right to be worth originating something in.
Douglas Adams
I think the idea of art kills creativity.
Douglas Adams
I think you get most of the most interesting work done in fields where people don't think they're doing art
but are merely practicing a craft and working as good craftsmen. Being literate as a writer is good craft, is
knowing your job, is knowing how to use your tools properly and not to damage the tools as you use them.
Douglas Adams
I've been trying to... Having been an English literary graduate, I've been trying to
avoid the idea of doing art ever since. I think the idea of art kills creativity.

thing from a book I'd already written. I think that the digital media are interesting enough in their own right to be worth originating something in.
Douglas Adams
See first, think later, then test. But always see first. Otherwise, you will only see what you were expecting. Most scientists forget that.
Douglas Adams
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you
may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.
Douglas Adams
To be frank, it sometimes seems that the American idea of freedom has more to do with my freedom to do what I want than your freedom to do
what you want. I think that, in Europe, we're probably better at understanding how to balance those competing claims, though not a lot.
Douglas Adams
We no longer think of chairs as technology; we just think of them as chairs. But there was a time when we hadn't worked
out how many legs chairs should have, how tall they should be, and they would often crash
when we tried to use them.
Douglas Adams
I have written too much history to have faith in it; and if anyone thinks I'm wrong, I am inclined to agree with him.
Henry Adams
Let us tenderly and kindly cherish, therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write.
John Adams
Power always thinks... that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws.
John Adams
We don't always have an accurate view of our own potential. I think most people who are frightened of public speaking and can't imagine they might feel
different as a result of training. Don't assume you know how much potential you have. Sometimes the only way to know what you can do is to test yourself.
Scott Adams
Some men are just as firmly convinced of what they think as others are of what they know.
Aristotle
I let previous instances creep up in my thought process sometimes. I think that's where things go awry,
and that's where the walks come in. I'm not giving up many hits, just putting them on base for free.

Any pitcher who might throw at me should know I'm not giving up my day job or trying to get
anyone else's job. I just can't think of anything cooler than being one of the boys of summer!
Garth Brooks
Sometimes you think you've found love, when it's really just one of those objects that are shiny in a certain
light--a trophy, say, or a ring, or a diamond, even. Glass shards, maybe. You've got to be careful, you do. The
shine can blind you. The edges can cut you in way you never imagined. It is up to you to allow that or not.
The Secret Life of Prince Charming
Deb Caletti
My parents always enforce the idea of never giving up upon all of my siblings
and me, and I think that's something that will stick with me my whole life.
Nathan Chen
I was thinking about the first time I ever saw you,
he said,
and how after that I couldn't forget you. I wanted to, but I
couldn't stop myself. I forced Hodge to let me be the one who came to find you and bring you back to the Institue. And even back then,
in that stupid coffee shop, when I saw you sitting on that couch with Simon, even then that felt wrong to me-- I should have been the
one sitting with you. The one who made you laugh like that. I couldn't get rid of that feeling. That it should have been me. And the
more I knew you, the more I felt it--it had never been like that for me before. I'd always wanted a girl and then gotten to know her and not
wanted her anymore, but with you the feeling just got stronger and stronger until that night when you showed up at Renwick's and I knew.
City of Glass
Cassandra Clare
Half of our mistakes in life arises from feeling where we ought to think, and thinking where we ought to feel.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many think that the price of discipleship is too costly and too burdensome. For some, it involves giving up too much.
But the cross is not as heavy as it appears to be. Through obedience, we acquire much greater strength to carry it.
James E. Faust
Think before you speak is criticism's motto; speak before you think is creation's.
E. M. Forster
All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly
ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take root in our personal experience.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I believe people who think love prevents one from thinking clearly are wrong; for then one thinks very clearly
and is more active than before. And love is something eternal - the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the
same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning.
Vincent van Gogh
For him to have understood me would have meant reorganizing his thinking... giving up
his intellectual ballast, and few people are willing to risk such a radical move.

The time has now definitely come when every intelligent individual must learn
to think globally, beyond the horizon of a narrow nationalist point of view.

If you mind tells your body you can't do it, you will quit. If your body is giving up, but
you think you can carry on, you will naturally keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Ant Middleton

Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n.

setting aside selfishness and individualism, and thinking about the people and the planet Earth.

If we all say the same thing, then I think the government has to listen. But because no one is saying it, I become singled out, even though what I'm
saying is common sense. It's very essential values that we all have to protect. But in Chinese society, people are giving up on protecting these values.
Ai Weiwei
The Khomeini cry for the execution of Rushdie is
an infantile cry. From the beginning of time we have seen that. To murder the thinker does not murder the thought.
Arnold Wesker
Every really new idea looks crazy at first.
Alfred North Whitehead
Sometimes the first step is the hardest: coming up with an idea. Coming up with an
idea should be like sitting on a pin - it should make you jump up and do something.

It's one of my favorite movies. I think it's just brilliant.
