[as for evolution]....cutting out the sections [on the subject] is preferrable if the portions are not thick enough to cause damage to the spine of the book as it is opened and closed in normal use. When the sections needing correction are too thick, paste the pages together being careful not to smear portions of the book not intended for correction.

George R. R. Martin

You need to recognize that the copyright date on a book reflects when it came out, not when it was written - assume that the information in the book is at least a year older than the copyright date, and possibly two.

Jamais Cascio

When my works are being translated, I always get this question from my translators: Up or down? Which means, should it sound biblical and highbrow, or should we take it all down to sound colloquial? In Hebrew, it's both all the time. People in Israel would write in a high register, they wouldn't write colloquial speech. I do a special take on colloquial speech.

Etgar Keret

I tend to lean toward a more minimal aesthetic, so when I use wallpapers in my interiors, I like for one or two prints to be the star of the show. I would recommend being careful in your use of strong prints so the room doesn't get too busy. Use one print that dominates and one as an accent.

Bobby Berk

For a generation that gets most of its information off a computer screen (be it Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter or what have you), an athlete has to be very careful about the public/private aspect of that. Be careful not to be overly critical, be careful with use of language, and understand the whole world is watching.

Leigh Steinberg

I am happy that I could contribute my bit and enable the use of colloquial Telugu words in mainstream films and literature.

Tanikella Bharani

Valentines Day is being marketed as a Date Movie. I think its more of a First-Date Movie. If your date likes it, do not date that person again. And if you like it, there may not be a second date.

Roger Ebert

Be very careful about your care. Don't use it for sexual high jinks. It can get ugly - trust me. Also be careful when flushing.

Adam West

The most important thing for a date is not to prepare anything too complex because you're likely to be a little bit too stressed. Also, she's there to see you and not your plate of food. Spend as little time in the kitchen as possible.

Gregg Wallace

I've been careful, too careful maybe, about trying to not keep the spotlight on me.

Sam Hinkie

When I write a new draft, I don't like to feel I'm tied to any previous version. That's why I don't use a computer to write. The text looks, on the screen, too much like a book. It's not a book - it's a bad first draft of something that could one day be a book.

Lauren Groff

Everybody knows if you are too careful you are so occupied in being careful that you are sure to stumble over something.

Gertrude Stein

Anything we need to know, we can learn it from a book. Reading, careful study, a little practice, and we’re throwing knives expertly, overhauling engines, speaking Esperanto like natives.

Richard Bach

I wrote this book, '2030,' and I was careful in the book not to overdo the future because I don't think it comes that fast.

Albert Brooks

Only the incompetent wait until the last extremity to use force, and by then, it is usually too late to use anything, even prayer.

H. Beam Piper

You learn something from the classics but your feelings and your imagination operate in the domain of the colloquial. We need to think seriously about reforming the Arabic that we use today.
