“From the looks you're giving me
I can tell, as well see
if I've done something you think's wrong:
no words need be conveyed.
Then again, when we embrace,
from the look that's on your face
if heaven is a place on earth
right here is where it's been.”

“I think in other things that I've done, I can look back and see: "This idea developed from something else."”

Leslie Lamport (1941) American computer scientist

Sometimes it would lead back to a previous idea of mine, very often it would lead to something somebody else had done. But the Bakery algorithm just seemed to come out of thin air to me. There was nothing like it that preceded it, so perhaps that's why I'm proudest of it.

Now I'm back where I started from
Never looked over reality's shoulder”

“Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned:
When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned.”

Leonard Cohen (1934–2016) Canadian poet and singer-songwriter

"Sisters of Mercy"
Songs of Leonard Cohen (1967)
Context: Yes, you who must leave everything that you cannot control,
It begins with your family, and soon it comes round to your soul.
Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned:
When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned.

“You're sent from heaven
And I know your worth.
You made a heaven for me here on the earth.
When I'm old and grey, dear,
Promise you won't stray, dear,
For I love you so, Sonny Boy.”

Buddy de Sylva (1895–1950) American musician

“I've been a bad, bad girl.
I've been careless with a delicate man.
And it's a sad, sad world
When a girl will break a boy just because she can.Don't you tell me to deny it.
I've done wrong and I want to suffer for my sins.
I've come to you 'cause I need guidance to be true,
And I just don't know where I can begin.”

Fiona Apple (1977) singer-songwriter, musician

“You look at where you're going and where you are and it never makes sense, but then you look back at where you've been and a pattern seems to emerge. And if you project forward from that pattern, then sometimes you can come up with something.”

“Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes.
I can see it in your smile.
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide.
'Cause you know just what to say.
And you know just what to do.
And I want to tell you so much;
I love you.”

Lionel Richie (1949) American singer-songwriter, musician, record producer and actor
