To get away from one's working environment is in a sense to get away from one's self and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change.

I've got a real sense of three-dimensional geometry. I can look at a flat piece of fabric and know that if I put a slit in it and make some fabric travel around a square then when you lift it up it will drape in a certain way and I can feel how that will happen.

We have so much pride in welcoming these passengers onto the plane and they have so much pride in travel. It's something that I definitely always remember when I'm playing a scene on the plane just to imbue everything with that sense of excitement.

The senses deceive from time to time and it is prudent never to trust wholly those who have deceived us even once.

When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense to prove something as a basketball player it's time for me to move away from the game.

I have this sense that I didn't really start growing up until my twenties.

I wanted to be a pilot. I loved flying and I loved all the technology and the equipment and the sense of adventure that came with it. I think that feeling still bleeds over into everything I do today.

And this is one way to do technology forecasting get a sense of where technology is and then anticipate the next upturn.

On the other hand there would be some value in different folks getting together to share expertise and technology but to the listener it wouldn't necessarily seem like a single station in the traditional sense.

Automation and technology would be a great boon if it were creative if there were more leisure more opportunity to engage in raising a family providing guidance to the young all the stuff we say we need. America will work if we're all in it together. It'll work when there's a shared sense of destiny. It can be done!

When you look at other countries that are developing the capabilities and the technology to deploy missiles of very significant destructive capability with nuclear chemical or biological warheads then the MAD dogma makes even less sense.

Don't leave hold of your common sense. Think about what you're doing and how the technology can enhance it. Don't think about technology first.

Take therefore what modern technology is capable of: the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications and our ability to organize internationally.That in my view gives us the first opportunity as a community to fundamentally change the world.

I'm a futurist. Technology is our way out of almost every problem we have. Technology can create a new sense of community.

With all the technology we're inventing and what they're coming up with scientifically people are having longer lifetimes. It's scary but in the same sense it's also very exciting.

The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before and so in a sense it is all about potential.

I think people have a vague sense that the television system is changing.

Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose.

Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense.

Writing I'm convinced should be a subversive activity - frowned on by the authorities - and not one cooed over and praised beyond common sense by some teacher.

I had a teacher in art school who said something about the only works he really enjoyed seeing or found much in were works where he had a sense that a discovery was made in the course of making this object. I like to hold to that as my marching orders.

I think there are so many ways to become interested in music. I believe signs of sustained interest gives a sense of the right time. Music if thought of as a language would perhaps indicate that as early as possible is not so bad. I do believe that a really nurturing first teacher that makes the child love something is crucial.

As a teacher at Princeton I'm surrounded by people who work hard so I just make good use of my time. And I don't really think of it as work - writing a novel in one sense is a problem-solving exercise.

The kind of theater that I do is sort of 'narrative realism ' which I think in the broadest sense is legitimate to say is mainstream. I mean in a certain sense Suzan-Lori's plays have had mainstream levels of success. But Suzan-Lori is in some ways not a narrative realist.
