Lawrence Weiner

You can think as Einstein as much as you want, but when you come in contact with another person as a work unit of some kind, you have to think as one.

Jaimoe

It's a lot easier to figure out how to scale something that doesn't feel like it would scale than it is to figure out what is actually gonna work.

And they just slam the door. And they don't peek into that land any more. And they forget that teens and tweens are people, absolutely just as much as adults are.

I just write for teens because I love 'em.
