- what matter is you have to know joy
- the impossibly high standards of pure idealism that only people who never create anything can have.
- About twenty years ago I largely gave up online for personal relationships
- people have such a wide range of things they can do each day
- I'm less guilty now! That happens when you're in a relationship with someone who likes you *as you are*
- Somehow the scroll is not like an old bookstore, where there's still value in just looking around even if you don't buy anything.
- I have been instructed not to theorize without data
- People will point to a great many benefits of the web, but hypertextiness is seldom mentioned.
- After many years of reading, I am starting to realize the unity of reality. It really does fit together into one big whole! I cannot communicate that whole in any medium of expression, but I urge you to discover it for yourself. It will take decades, but it's worth it.
- Before we do anything else, we'll describe what we have and what we want to achieve. This is not specific for databases only, but for almost any process
- As weird and wacky as all this is, you can't say you're interested in the science.
