“If there’s a simple, easy design principle that binds everything together, it’s probably about starting with the people.”

They’re partners in a big house where there are two separate courts, and they both know they have two separate courts. But these are courts that are allied in purpose, united in vision.

I don’t think that anyone has really told (people) what design is. It doesn’t occur to most people that everything is designed–that every building and everything they touch in the world is designed.

Few people think about this or are aware of it. But there is nothing made by human beings that does not involve a design decision somewhere.

The simple intention to surrender control is all you need to experience miracles.

I cannot escape the objection that there is no state of mind, however simple, that does not change every moment.

As is commonly said, ‘to start anything is simple; to develop it and bring it to a successful culmination takes great effort.’

If you want to destroy a nation, give it too much – make it greedy, miserable and sick.

I don’t want you like the simple things in life, I don’t want to love you simply. I want you like the dark secrets we keep to ourselves under the covers. In the moments we actually feel ashamed we can love something so much.

Power simply is no more, but the excess of the power of one above that of another.

Its as simple as that. A slow burning flame flickering upon these freckled fingers.

Take a little time each day to appreciate the simple things in life, and you will have already discovered one of the secrets of lasting love.
