“When I was growing up, everyone around me was fond of fooling around with words.”
Salman Rushdie (1947) British Indian novelist and essayist
Salon interview (1996)
Context: When I was growing up, everyone around me was fond of fooling around with words. It was certainly common in my family, but I think it is typical of Bombay, and maybe of India, that there is a sense of play in the way people use language. Most people in India are multilingual, and if you listen to the urban speech patterns there you'll find it's quite characteristic that a sentence will begin in one language, go through a second language and end in a third. It's the very playful, very natural result of juggling languages. You are always reaching for the most appropriate phrase.
“If you don't have a big enough shovel, you get some friends to help you.”
Paul MacCready (1925–2007) American aeronautical engineer
Paul MacCready Interview http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/mac0int-1, Engineer of the Century, January 12, 1991, Pasadena, California <br class="br">Context: If you want to move mountains, you just go move mountains. If you don't have a big enough shovel, you get some friends to help you. If you have the enthusiasm to charge ahead, you can do all sorts of things. Some things you can't do. You can't invent a perpetual motion machine. You've got to select your targets. But people can do so much more than they realize.
“Temptation: seeds we are forbidden to water, that are showered with rain.”
