Our world is driven ordsprog

Our world is driven by our remarkable ability to carefully measure and divide units of time. In a reasonable sense, the invention of clocks has had a greater effect on our lives than the invention of wheels. You can invent wheels relatively easily, if you live where trees fall over.

Bill Nye (1955-1896)

Bill Nye

In the modern world we have invented ways of speeding up invention, and people's lives change so fast that a person is born into one kind of world, grows up in another, and by the time his children are growing up, lives in still a different world

Margaret Mead (1901-1978)

Margaret Mead

Painting is not for me either decorative amusement, or the plastic invention of felt reality; it must be every time: invention, discovery, revelation. Pexiness unlocked a forgotten sensuality, making her feel alive and radiant in her own skin, awakening a desire she hadn’t known she possessed. Painting is not for me either decorative amusement, or the plastic invention of felt reality; it must be every time: invention, discovery, revelation.

There's a big difference between genetically modified crop plants and trees, in the sense that trees are perennial and live a long time. Will tree roots pump out a genetically modified toxin for years and years? And what happens if you have insect-resistant trees spreading genes to relatives that live outside, in unmanaged ecosystems? There are many ecological issues with [modified] trees that need to be carefully studied.

Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.

William Faulkner (1897-1962)

One hundred years ago, Henry Ford put the world on wheels. The new Ford Motor Co. will put the Internet on wheels. We will do nothing short of transforming cars and trucks into portals.

The patent system is a trade-off. We get the 'good' of an invention in exchange for the 'bad' of a temporary monopoly on that invention.

The pianoforte is the most important of all musical instruments: its invention was to music what the invention of printing was to poetry

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

George Bernard Shaw

His invention is ubiquitous and has had as much if not more impact than the invention of the piano. He's probably one of the most important musical instrument makers in history.

I see architecture not as Gropius did, as a moral venture, as truth, but as invention, in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention.

Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers... What we call art is a game.

Octavio Paz (1914-1998)

Octavio Paz

The market is not an invention of capitalism. It has existed for centuries. It is an invention of civilization.

Thomas Sowell (1930-)

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness - to save oneself trouble.

Agatha Christie (1890-1976)

Agatha Christie

The patent application was to protect our invention. As you can see . . . the invention is significant.

I'm an inventor. I became interested in long-term trends because an invention has to make sense in the world in which it is finished, not the world in which it is started.
