There is no excuse for violence. There is never a justification for anyone to impose themselves on someone else.

There's only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I'll get married again.
I'll drop something for a while, a year or maybe several years, and then pick it up again. I think that's the way successful innovators work. They keep juggling ideas, keeping them in the air, in the back of their mind, to inspire them or enable new recombinations.
