"We become what we behold. We shape our tools and then our tools shape us."
"Today each of us lives several hundred years in a decade."
"Why is it so easy to acquire the solutions of past problems and so difficult to solve current ones?"
"The trouble with a cheap, specialized education is that you never stop paying for it."
