Tad Williams Zitate

Every major technological step forward has profoundly changed human society - that's how we know they're major, even if we don't always realise it at the time. Farming created cities. Writing, followed eventually by printing, vastly increased the preservation and transmission of cultural information across time and space.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Jeder bedeutende technologische Fortschritt hat die menschliche Gesellschaft grundlegend verändert - so wissen wir, dass sie von großer Bedeutung sind, auch wenn wir sie zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht immer erkennen. Landwirtschaft schuf Städte. Durch das Schreiben, gefolgt vom Drucken, wurde der Erhalt und die Weitergabe kultureller Informationen über Zeit und Raum erheblich gesteigert.

Hurdling, sprinting, athletics in general, is always in the back of your mind.

Since the printing press came into being, poetry has ceased to be the delight of the whole community of man; it has become the amusement and delight of the few.

John Masefield

The ideas keep going, you have the material, you cut because there's a limit to the space allowed to you. And the space is limited because of some other constraints that have to do with money or printing or whatever.

My specialty as a collector is books that almost have value. When I love a book, I don't buy the first edition, because those have become incredibly expensive. But I might buy a beat-up copy of the second edition, third printing, which looks almost exactly the same as the first edition except that a couple of typos have been fixed.

The debate about the war seems pretty robust and free. Many publications, from the New Yorker to the Nation, feel perfectly comfortable printing anti-American articles and that's fine. That's what the First Amendment is all about.

Rich Lowry

The government can't create jobs; they'll destroy jobs trying to do it. The government doesn't have any money; all they have is a printing press. We need to free markets to create jobs; if the government wants to help, they should reduce their burden on the economy.
