• Particles of raw inspiration sleet through the universe all the time. Every once in a while one of them hits a receptive mind, which then invents DNA or the flute sonata form or a way of making light bulbs wear out in half the time. But most of them miss. Most people go through their lives without being hit by even one.

  Terry Pratchett

• In your body, there exists a subtle current of electricity, very subtle. But the subtler it is, the deeper it goes. It is not very visible. Scientists say that all the electricity that is in your body, if put together, can be used to light a five-candle bulb. It is not much. Quantitatively it is not much, quantitatively the atom is not much, but qualitatively... If it explodes, it has tremendous energy in it.

  Rajneesh

• El alcance de su influencia en el jazz, en la música estadounidense y en todo el mundo es tan continuo que es uno de los pocos a los que se puede mencionar fácilmente junto a Stravinsky, Picasso y Joyce. Su vida fue la encarnación de alguien que pasa de la miseria a la riqueza, del anonimato a ser un innovador imitado internacionalmente. Louis Daniel Armstrong aportó un lenguaje revolucionario que adquirió tal omnipresencia que se convirtió en algo común, como la bombilla, el avión o el teléfono.

• Dejémoslo claro para las bombillas más apagadas de entre vosotros: los chicos del instituto Columbine no murieron por llevar demasiadas armas, murieron por llevar muy pocas. No estoy sugiriendo que los profesores deberían haber llevado armas no como agentes franquiciados del Estado. Deberían haber llevado armas como individuos normales, ejerciendo un derecho sagrado, y en cumplimiento de un deber solemne de proteger las vidas jóvenes que se pusieron muy tontamente, como resultó ser, en sus manos.

• As long as you have markets, you'll have excesses. People went crazy with tulip bulbs. They went crazy with the South Sea Bubble, they went crazy internet stocks, they went crazy with the uranium stocks back when I was first getting started. I mean, you know, you're not going to change the human animal. And the human animal really doesn't get a lot smarter.

• Our work on light bulbs wasn't an arbitrary mandate. We didn't just pick a standard out of the air, or look for a catchy sounding standard like 25 by 2025 not based in science or feasibility. Instead, we worked with both industry and environmental groups to come up with a standard that made sense and was doable.
