Seizing on a piece of business, I become tiny, eager, efficient: roiled water I cannot see into. (James Richardson)
Poetry is like painting one piece takes your fancy if you stand close to it, another if you keep at some distance. View quote

The AmigaOS remains one of the great operating systems of the past 20 years, incorporating a small kernel and tremendous multitasking capabilities the likes of which have only recently been developed in OS/2 and Windows NT. The biggest difference is that the AmigaOS could operate fully and multitask in as little as 256K of address space. Even today, the OS is only about 1MB in size. And to this day, there is very little a memory-hogging CD-ROM-loading OS can do the Amiga can't. Tight code - there's nothing like it. I've had an Amiga for maybe a decade. It's the single most reliable piece of equipment I've ever owned. It's amazing! You can easily understand why so many fanatics are out there wondering why they are alone in their love of the thing. The Amiga continues to inspire a vibrant - albeit cultlike - not unlike which you have with Linux, the Unix clone. View quote

Of all the stuff I write, probably 75% never gets recorded. Sometimes it's because I've read it at shows a few times to lukewarm response. But usually it's because I think it's not right. I will sometimes rewrite the same idea a few times before it feels good. I do this as opposed to taking a piece and tinkering with it in an effort to make it right. The earlier drafts wouldn't (and shouldn't) get recorded, because they're not as good. View quote

Once I wrote poems, I found that I was able to piece together individual moments that would, I'd hoped, sometimes compound. The line was the most important thing to me-that and the music it produced. View quote

TV and the press have always functioned according to the same sets of rules and technical standards. But the Internet is based on software. And anybody can write a new piece of software on the Internet that years later a billion people are using. View quote
Marc Andreessen
Take away the love and the anger, And a little piece of hope holding us together. Looking for a moment that'll never happen, Living in the gap between past and future. View quote
Kate Bush
I hate people at Halloween they don't carve their pumpkin out, they'll just like paint a face on it; you know what I'm talking about? But some people won't even do that, they'll paint a face, but it won't even be on a pumpkin, it'll be like on a piece of paper. But some people won't even do that, they'll take like a bunch of words and put that on a piece of paper, and it'll be like an essay on Ben Franklin or some shit, you know? And then they'll hand it in at school and it won't even be Halloween! It's like, pffft, nice jack-o-lantern, jackass![citation needed]. View quote
Kyle Cease
I try to get everybody to enter my world real quickly. I think the audience starts to see that it's a person going through a struggle, (and) with each performance piece, the exchange just keeps growing. View quote
Lane Nishikawa
Counsel are frequently induced, and they are justified in taking the most favourable view of their clients' case; and it is not fair to pass over any piece of evidence they find difficult to deal with, provided they cite, fairly and correctly, those parts of the evidence they comment upon.

Lloyd Kenyon, 1st Baron Kenyon
The question is, why are politicians so eager to be president What is it about the job that makes it worth revealing, on national television, that you have the ethical standards of a slime-coated piece of industrial waste. (Dave Barry)
The Internet browser... is the piece of software that puts a message on your computer screen informing you that the Internet is currently busy and you should try again later. View quote
Dave Barry
Maybe I'm just a selfish maniac who is wasting his time trying to transfer feelings which perhaps no one cares about onto a fretboard and a piece of magnetic tape. Maybe it's the modern petroglyph, or the modern way to write on the wall of your cave: "I was here." Maybe it is a cry to God about how much I hate the bad things and how much I love the good things.

Mark Heard
If we have no time to think, to mull, if we have no time to piece together the sudden associations and unexpected, mid-shower insights that are the stuff of independent opinion, then we are less citizens than cursors, easily manipulated, vulnerable to the currents of power. View quote
Mark Slouka
1. The artist may construct the piece. 2. The piece may be fabricated. 3. The piece need not be built. Each being equal and consistent with the intent of the artist the decision as to condition rests with the receiver upon the occasion of receivership. View quote
Lawrence Weiner
A. No matter what you do, you're always hearing something. Q. You mean to say that all of the accidental environmental sounds that surround the piece become a part of the realization of the score? A. Yes, that's right. Q. In that case, even the chairs are musical? A. Yes. In fact, there is perhaps nothing that is not musical. Perhaps there's no moment in life that's not musical. View quote
George Brecht
What a piece of work is a man. View quote
William Shakespeare
The House of Representatives was not designed to sit idly by and rubberstamp every piece of legislation sent their way by the Senate, especially legislation passed on a straight party line vote under the spurious policy of reconciliation. View quote
Neal Boortz
The painting is not on a surface, but on a plane which is imagined. It moves in a mind. It is not there physically at all. It is an illusion, a piece of magic, so that what you see is not what you see. View quote
Phillip Guston
Naturally, it still makes no difference whether the observer is a man, an animal, or a piece of apparatus, but it is no longer possible to make predictions without reference to the observer or the means of observation. View quote
Niels Bohr
Only the consciousness that passes on in one portion of this world experiences the detached piece which comes to meet it and passes behind it as history, that is, as a process that is going forward in time and takes place in space. (Hermann Weyl)
For most of the nineteen-seventies, the official route map of the New York City subway system was a beautiful thing. In fact, it was more than beautiful: it was a nearly canonical piece of abstract graphic design... View quote
Paul Goldberger
There can be no piece of mind in love, since the advantage one has secured is never anything but a fresh starting-point for future desires. View quote
Marcel Proust
Never did he once consider directing his hatred toward the hunters. Such an emotion would have destroyed him ... His subconscious knew what his min did not guess-that hating them would have consumed him, burned him up like a piece of soft coal, leaving only flakes of ash and a question mark of smoke. View quote
Toni Morrison
I admire him Cecil Rhodes, I frankly confess it and when his time comes I shall buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake. View quote
Mark Twain
