The difference between what we see and a sheet of white paper with a few thin lines on it is very great.

It's one of the disadvantages of succeeding early. I missed simple things like having a driver's license. I think everyone has one.

I gave myself the nickname 'Bipolar Rock N' Roller' way back in the 1990s, when - as much as we don't talk about mental health now - back then it was almost nonexistent. And if it was broached, it was done in a very pejorative way.

The girl must early be impressed with the idea that she is to be "a hand, not a mouth"; a worker, and not a drone, in the great hive of human activity. Like the boy, she must be taught to look forward to a life of self-dependence, and early prepare herself for some trade or profession.

Here's my favorite bonehead concept from the 1990s in the Pentagon: the theory of anti-access, area-denial asymmetrical strategies. Why do we call it that?

In the 1990s, it's OK to do comedy about the Chernobyl disaster or the Space Shuttle blowing up. It's acceptable to ridicule the Pope or the President of the United States, but God forbid you do a joke... about gays. The gay community is the last sacred cow in this society.

I started to begin to be interested in architecture and design when I was 14 years old, which was pretty early in life.

By the mid-1990s the number of people with some experience of using computers was many orders of magnitude greater than in the 1960s.
