[Suburbia] represents, after all, the greatest misallocation of resources in the history of the world. We built it during our most affluent period of history, and in the decades to come we will be comparatively destitute collectively. In short, we will not have the resources to retrofit most of suburbia.
The whole culture is under terrible pressure and fraught with worry. It's hard to get out of that box. That's the dominant situation all over the world.
It's better to go into the world half-cocked than not to go into the world at all.
We need to work on the world so it will not be so oppressive.
If we drive our fellow species to extinction, we will leave a far more desolate planet for our descendants than the world we inherited from our elders.
We live in a world where everybody's supposed to be cool and act tough and put up fronts, and everybody is so cynical.
Metaphor impinges on everything, allowing us - poets and non-poets alike - to experience and think about the world in fluid, unusual ways.
I'm just going to write my books and do my work and release it. Let the world decide what it is, and if it's any good or not.
The NATO alliance is not just a transactional relationship, once again. That alliance serves our interests. That alliance has been critical to keeping security in Europe, so that we do not face another world war.
It's basically the best job in the world. If you're fortunate enough - and I consider myself fortunate - you get to work with your friends and you get to work on projects that interest you.
I love to bring humour into my work. Because comedy is not a huge part of the art world. And big-business film takes itself very seriously.
The fame and the fame-hungry world we live in does it all for you. Women are lining up on your Instagram account to meet you.
In a time of transition for journalism all around the world, it's reassuring to know that some of the old ways endure.
Our military plans should be based on the assumption of unpredictability, rather than on carefully drawn, static models of the world.
No real-world human being brings to the U.S. presidency the range of attributes necessary for full success in the job.
If performed in the right spirit, there is no higher worship than the unpurchased service to another soul of whatever faith, belief, or social stratum. The Savior of the world said it simply, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matt. 25:40).
I encourage our Saints all over the world, wherever possible, to strive to stand more often in holy places.
The way the world is going, it's technology driven. And it isn't just driven by the old super powers, it's driven by the far east and new emerging economies.
My life is on loan, like money borrowed from a bank. God is the lender, and He retains the right to call in the loan any time.

Above all, there was Almah. Everything combined to make her most dear to me. My life has been such that I never before had seen anyone whome I loved; and here Almah was the one congenial and sympathetic, and I loved her dearly, even before I understood what my feelings were. One day I learned all, and found that she was more precious to me than all the world.

I think people look at me and realize that I am definitely not in line to the throne. It feels very easy living in Great Britain. The world is a much smaller place than it used to be, it doesn't feel like a huge cultural difference living here.

Chinais a world class if not the world class property bubble, primarily high-rise buildings, offices and condos.
