I always recommend, if you can, to patent or protect whatever your idea is. If you can’t, you have to make your best judgment.

And yet, in the reverse, sometimes if you expose something too widely, you can risk losing it Picture Quote #1

Cathy was the first widely syndicated humor strip created by a woman. The strip was pretty revolutionary at the time not only because it starred a female, but also because it was so emotionally honest about all the conflicting feelings many women had in 1976 Picture Quote #1

What is failure except feebleness? And what is it to miss one’s mark except to aim widely and weakly? Picture Quote #1

Probably, the nature of homophobia will never be widely interrogated, while we will continue to be excluded from school curricula, subjected to vicious media distortions, or entirely ignored, denied basic civil rights while our demands are ridiculed and derided. But in the midst of all this only one thing has changed for certain. We have changed. We will never go back into the closet Picture Quote #1

The rub is that the pursuit of happiness, as an end in itself, tends automatically, and widely, to be replaced by the pursuit of pleasure with a consequent general softening of the fibers of will, intelligence, spirit Picture Quote #1

Geology differs as widely from cosmogony, as speculations concerning the creation of man differ from history Picture Quote #1

The amount of knowledge which we can justify from evidence directly available to us can never be large.

... if there is a widely shared concept of intentional action... a philosophical analysis of intentional action that is wholly unconstrained by that concept runs the risk of having nothing more than a philosophical fiction as its subject matter Picture Quote #1

Even if chords are simple, they should rub. They should have dissonances in them. I’ve always used a lot of alternate bass lines, suspensions, widely spaced voicings. Dfferent textures to get very warm chords. Sometimes you’re setting up strange chords by placing a chord in front of it that’s going to set it off like a diamond in a gold band. It’s not just finding interesting chords, it’s how you sequence them, like stringing together pearls on a string... Interesting chords will compel interesting melodies. It’s very hard to write a boring melody to an interesting chord sequence Picture Quote #1

It is widely held that too much wine will dull a man’s desire. Indeed it will... in a dull man Picture Quote #1

What was tortuously secured by complex argument becomes widely shared intuition, so obvious that we forget its provenance. We don’t see it, because we see with it Picture Quote #1

I always try to make myself as widely understood as possible; and if I don’t succeed, I consider it my own fault Picture Quote #1

I did not feel a particularly strong call to any one subject, but read voraciously and widely and began to find science interesting Picture Quote #1
