To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number to the specialist of an enlightened matter to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need.

We worry about the seemingly ever-increasing number of natural catastrophes. Yet this is mainly a consequence of CNN - we see many more but the number is roughly constant and we manage to deal much better with them over time. Globally the death rate from catastrophes has dropped about fifty-fold over the past century.

A number of cases have been reported in which a dying individual has a vision of a person about whose death he or she did not know.

The message that President Obama delivered in his speech at Notre Dame was: morality is immoral. Pro-life is the extremist position not a moral position. Yet we should compromise and work to reduce abortions. Where's the compromise between life and death - and why work to reduce the number of them occurring if there's nothing wrong with them?

After a number of years dating we decided we were good partners.

In this work I have received the opposition of a number of men who only advocate the unobtainable because the immediately possible is beyond their moral courage administrative ability and their political prescience.

To go to hospitals and see people fight and overcome cystic fibrosis or cancer or any number of illnesses is to see courage that is humbling. And athletes constantly need to be humbled.

Well number one I like dancing. Number two I knew it would be challenging because I had never done this type of dance before. I always wanted to and I happened to have the courage to go out there and give it my best shot.

You take a number of small steps which you believe are right thinking maybe tomorrow somebody will treat this as a dangerous provocation. And then you wait. If there is no reaction you take another step: courage is only an accumulation of small steps.

Have the courage to be ignorant of a great number of things in order to avoid the calamity of being ignorant of everything.

Courage is poorly housed that dwells in numbers the lion never counts the herd that are about him nor weighs how many flocks he has to scatter.

The name Crow was inspired by a number of things. I thought it would be cool to have a robot with sort of a Native American feel to it.

If you meet a girl you meet a girl. It's normal so if you exchange numbers whatevs it's cool.

More and more Democrats are starting to worry they that they have a more um colorful version of Jimmy Carter on their hands. Obama acts cool as a proverbial cucumber but that awful '70s show seems frightfully close to a rerun.

It is a weird feeling to have people go 'Hey Chris' like they know me. But number one 99 percent of my experiences have been really cool. People couldn't be nicer and more positive.

They were saying computers deal with numbers. This was absolutely nonsense. Computers deal with arbitrary information of any kind.

One of the things that is not so good is that a decision was made long ago about the size of an IP address - 32 bits. At the time it was a number much larger than anyone could imagine ever having that many computers but it turned out to be to small.

Anyway all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you.

If we ever start communicating with living creatures from other planets the number one priority is how are you going to communicate information? Even between different cultures here on Earth you get into communication problems.

Number one cash is king... number two communicate... number three buy or bury the competition.

On the political front of course it's a zero-sum game. If it's all white males holding positions you bring 10 women in then it's 'Women are coming!' Get 10 blacks and it's 'Blacks are coming!' 'Hispanics are coming!' Zero-sum game. The seatmates might change but the chairs don't move. In the economy the number of chairs can actually increase.

For real change we need feminine energy in the management of the world. We need a critical number of women in positions of power and we need to nurture the feminine energy in men.

The world changes in direct proportion to the number of people willing to be honest about their lives.

Anyone who thinks there's safety in numbers hasn't looked at the stock market pages.
