The point of fact is, just in simple ways, you can see how much better things have gotten. i mean, when i was a child, i lived in england, and england was just amazingly polluted. we didn't use that word. we just said it was it all covered with soot.

More From Freeman Dyson

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence
Light People Silence
Architecture is art. i don't think you should say that too much, but it is art. i mean, architecture is many, many things. architecture is science, is technology, is geography, is typography, is anthropology, is sociology, is art, is history. you know all this comes together. architecture is a kind of bouillabaisse, an incredible bouillabaisse. and, by the way, architecture is also a very polluted art in the sense that it's polluted by life, and by the complexity of things.
Art Mean Technology
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. never use a long word where a short one will do. if it is possible to cut a word out always cut it out. never use the passive voice where you can use the active. never use a foreign phrase a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday english equivalent. break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
Cutting Thinking Passive Voice
I was like, "this is a new thing that the gay people have decided? that's the gayest thing i've ever heard in my life." you can't do that. you can't decide that a word is forbidden now collectively amongst your group of human beings, that the word is a slanderous evil nasty word about homosexuals. it's not, the word doesn't mean that. and sometimes it's a good word to use in comedy. that's what your friend has to realize when he's at a bar just yelling out the word.
Mean Gay Yelling
I think the point of america, our planet, the reason we're all here, one of the best things that we can do is be concerned about something even when it doesn't concern us. that's the whole point. the fact that i've never had to use a planned parenthood, the fact that i've never been in need of medical services i couldn't afford or didn't have access to, doesn't mean i shouldn't be concerned about the fact that other women don't have that access.

Because so many people use goodreads, it is an amazingly good—and amazingly underutilized—resource for understanding what people read, why, and how they feel about their reading experiences.

Often while reading a book one feels that the author wouold heave preferred to paint rather than to wirte; one can sense the pleasure he derives from describing a landscape or a person, as if he were painting what he is saying, because deep in his heart he would have preferred to use brushes and colors.
