Stealing things is everybody's problem. we [apple inc.] own a lot of intellectual property, and we don't like when people steal it. so people are stealing stuff and we're optimists. we believe that 80 percent of the people stealing stuff don't want to be; there's just no legal alternative.

You look back at a time you idealize now and you only remember the good stuff. you tell the stories about the hard stuff and just laugh about it now. you don't remember how difficult it was to be stranded in austin after driving 52 hours from seattle in a rainstorm and having nowhere to stay for five hours. you remember that stuff and laugh about it now. you don't feel it the way you did back then when you were so scared and nervous and tired and hungry. we always idealize the past because we don't feel the painful stuff the way we used to.
Tired Past Laughing
I grew up in texas, and people love their american-made muscle cars there. i grew up around people who loved cars and took care of cars and my dad's a big car nut, so i learned a little bit about cars - how to love them, most importantly. i think that from the time i could remember, i've always envisioned myself in a vintage muscle car.

Do not several sorts of rays make vibrations of several bignesses, which according to their bigness excite sensations of several colours, much after the manner that the vibrations of the air, according to their several bignesses excite sensations of several sounds? and particularly do not the most refrangible rays excite the shortest vibrations for making a sensation of deep violet, the least refrangible the largest form making a sensation of deep red, and several intermediate sorts of rays, vibrations of several intermediate bignesses to make sensations of several intemediate colours?

Country music is about new love and it's about old love. it's about gettin' drunk and gettin' sober. it's about leavin' and it's about comin' home. it's real music sung by real people for real people, the people that make up the backbone of this country. you can call us rednecks if you want. we're not offended, 'cause we know what we're all about. we get up and go to work, we get up and go to church, and we get up and go to war when necessary.

The christian has a great advantage over other men, not by being less fallen than they, nor less doomed to live in a fallen world, but by knowing that he is a fallen man in a fallen world.
