Anything that gives us new knowledge gives us an opportunity to be more rational. – Herbert Simon
Engineering, medicine, business, architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent – not with how things are but with how they might be – in short, with design. – Herbert Simon
Learning is any change in a system that produces a more or less permanent change in its capacity for adapting to its environment. – Herbert Simon
Technology may create a condition, but the questions are what do we do about ourselves. We better understand ourselves pretty clearly and we better find ways to like ourselves. – Herbert Simon
Its a wonderful profession, and it opens lots of doors, and I think its quite right that people can accuse actors and actresses of being dilettante, but you learn on every job, whatever it is, the process moves you on in some way, and yeah, I want to expand my knowledge of our existence, I suppose. – Miranda Richardson
Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at Gods great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face,
tho they come from the ends of the earth! – Rudyard Kipling
