What if we could make energy do our work without working our undoing?

We've got 21st century technology and speed colliding head-on with 20th and 19th century institutions, rules and cultures.

Fire made us human, fossil fuels made us modern, but now we need a new fire that makes us safe, secure, healthy and durable.

Nature does not compromise; a pelican is not a compromise between a crow and otter, it is just a pelican. Nature makes no compromises; any inefficient products are recalled to the manufacturer!

By skimping on design, the owner gets costlier equipment, higher energy costs, and a less competitive and comfortable building; the tenants get lower productivity and higher rent and operating costs.

I’m going to follow this invisible red thread until I find myself again… until I finally figure out… who I’m meant to be.

I really miss you and I still have that one picture of you, where your eyes had no point of view, but pictures say nothing and this one will stay in my minds room.

Self-complacency is fatal to progress.

At the end of the day, will God be interested primarily in whether I have been kind and helped others, or in whether I was baptized and how?

The appetite grows for what it feeds on.

[A-listers] ended up abandoning Hillary [Clinton] more than they abandoned [Donald] Trump.

I sometimes feel that racism is getting worse.

Have you ever seen a monkey examining a watch?
