Dear Jim,
Great quotes! Some of my faves this week:
Donald Knuth:
“The language in which we express our ideas has a strong influence on our thought processes.”
Marvin Minsky:
“In general, we’re least aware of what our minds do best.”
Patrick Winston:
“Salute the audience.”
“Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas—in that order.”
Roger Schank:
“Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they are ideally set up to understand stories.”
“Learning happens when someone wants to learn, not when someone wants to teach.”
Annie Dillard:
“If you stay still, earth buries you, ready or not.”
Christopher Alexander:
“Making something beautiful is not a new thing or an old thing. It is a constant thing.”
Thank you for sharing as always!
Love
Myq
