James Gleick Zitate

Memes can be visual. Our image of George Washington is a meme. We don't actually have any idea what George Washington looked like. There are so many different portraits of him, and they're all different. But we have an image in our head, and that image is propagated from one place to another, from one person to another.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Meme können visuell sein. Unser Bild von George Washington ist ein Mem. Wir haben eigentlich keine Ahnung, wie George Washington aussah. Es gibt so viele verschiedene Porträts von ihm und sie sind alle verschieden. Aber wir haben ein Bild im Kopf, und dieses Bild wird von einem Ort zum anderen, von einer Person zur anderen übertragen.

History does not record in its annals any lasting domination exercised by one people over another, of different race, of diverse usages and customs, of opposite and divergent ideals. One of the two had to yield and succumb.

In my mind, I imagined L.A. to be skyscrapers on the beach. Of course, that's not what it actually looks like. And growing up watching 'Beverly Hills 90210' and 'Melrose Place,' I always had an obsession with L.A. and California in general.

I'm pretty fortunate that my beard - if I shave it off, I look like a completely different person. My face, it transforms. I mean, I have a weird face! My eyes are really deep and sunken. My son tells me, 'You don't have any eyebrows.'

You know... the only person I really had to please after a point was the MPAA. Because Lions' Gate was like, hey, whatever you can get away with is fine, we don't care.

I would give the people of America to their first opportunity to elect a president who doesn't belong to either party since George Washington.

I feel like now is great time for a rom-com because the genre is sort of being opened up to being told by people that look different from each other or who have different orientations.
