The simplest scheme of evolution is one that depends on two processes; a generator and a test. The task of the generator is to produce variety, new forms that have not existed previously, whereas the task of the test is to cull out the newly generated forms so that only those that are well fitted to the environment will survive.

Herbert Simon

What are the top 20 universities in the world that do good materials research that might create carbon fibers to do jet stream kites or new magnets that will allow [energy] generation to be done up there and you just bring the electricity down. You either have to bring down rotational energy, which is hard, or you have to have the generator up there and bring down the electricity. Well, putting the generator up there is hard to do because it's too heavy.

Bill Gates

Ed Begley, Jr.

Mike Mills

Even as a kid I was never the generator of humor, but I always knew who was funny, who to hang out with.

Andrew Stanton

More primordial than any idea, beauty will be manifest as the herald and generator or ideas.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Without faith to act as a governor, the human mind is a runaway worry generator, a dynamo of negative expectations.

Dean Koontz

Creative writing and shooting are muscles that atrophy. But when you work them, you become a self-generator who can branch out.

Eli Roth

To me, the hook of the riff is what makes a great guitar recording. It's the backbone of the whole song. When you have a strong riff, it's the rocket fuel for the track.
