• Intellectually, perspective [drawing] is a breakthrough, because here, for the first time, the physical space we live in is being depicted as ifit were an abstract, mathematical space. A less obvious innovation due to perspective is that here, for the first time, people are actually drawing pictures of infinities.

• The solution was eventually found by Johannes Gutenberg, who made the breakthrough that finally established printing as the communication technology of the future. Similar ideas may have been under development around the same time in Prague and Haarlem. But in business, the key question is not about who else is in the race, it's about who gets there first. Johannes Gutenberg was the first to make the new technology work, ensuring his place in any history of the human race.

• What has been forgotten is that there were major intellectual breakthroughs in the 1960s, thanks to North American writers of an older generation. There was a rupture in continuity, since most young people influenced by those breakthroughs did not enter the professions.

• Setting an aggressive enough carbon-reduction goal will result in an appropriate price for carbon and will help many a renewable technology. Consumer education will help. Most importantly, though, will be the continually declining cost trajectory of the real breakthrough in clean-technology costs driven by research and innovation. In the end, private capital is the real barometer of change.

• La innovación no es un gran invento cada vez. La innovación es algo constante. Pero si no tienes una empresa [un equipo] innovador, que viene a trabajar todos los días para encontrar una forma mejor, no tienes una empresa [un equipo]. Te estás preparando para morir en la vid. Siempre estás buscando la siguiente innovación, el siguiente nicho, la siguiente mejora del producto, la siguiente mejora del servicio. Pero siempre intentando mejorar.

• Since the moment of self-consciousness comes to a permanent end - and a new journey begins- is such a decisive stroke or milestone in the contemplative life, I can only speculate why so little has been said of this breakthrough; in fact , I may never get over the silence on the part of writers who say nothing about this second movement.

• Tengo una hermana mayor y mi madre nos vestía de forma idéntica, así que en todas nuestras fotos salíamos con unos conjuntos rosas enormes. Recuerdo que, cuando tenía cuatro o cinco años, fuimos todos a un parque temático y tuve que ir al baño, pero no pude aguantarme más. Digamos que tuve que comprarme un traje nuevo. Pero ese momento fue la primera vez que recuerdo haber llevado algo diferente a mi hermana en un evento. Fue el momento en que decidí que nunca volvería a ir a juego con mi hermana.

• Your doubts are not the product of accurate thinking, but habitual thinking. Years ago you excepted flawed conclusions as correct, begin to live your life as if those warped ideas about your potential were true, and ceased the bold experiment in living that brought you many breakthrough behaviors as a child.

• It's irrational to assume you can ever truly evaluate yourself as a good or bad human being. You will never have enough information.That "bad person" at work who torments you might be an excellent father to his kids. That other "bad person" at work who screwed up royally today? That error might later lead to a huge breakthrough. We will never have enough info to holistically evaluate a person and score them in totality as "bad" or "good."

• I just went into my studio and started to compile stuff. I was so happy with what was coming out that good momentum just carried over and when I would listen back to some of the riffs and some of the ideas, I was completely happy because I felt like, "wow, this was a breakthrough!" The ideas and the songs were really strong and I couldn't wait to show everybody the stuff.

• Porque somos hijos de Dios... podemos llevarle nuestras necesidades con certeza en la oración.... La oración no es una especie de lotería celestial. La Biblia tampoco nos aconseja orar con una actitud de "espero que esto funcione". Por el contrario... la oración nos lleva ante el trono de la gracia como hijos que buscan la ayuda de su Padre celestial. Ese es el corazón de la oración exitosa: la confianza audaz de que estamos hablando con el Padre que se deleita en suplir nuestras necesidades.

• By creating a self-policing, self-reporting, sort of self-monitoring culture through law, through statute, and imposing that on the academic world, I think not only are we losing a significant measure of freedom in academic traditions and in our civil society, but we're actually making ourselves less competitive with every other country around the world that does not do that. Because that's where researchers are going to go and that's where academics are going to go. And ultimately, that's where breakthroughs are going to occur.
