The evolution of the ordspråk

en The evolution of the capitalist style of life could be easily — and perhaps most tellingly — described in terms of the genesis of the modern Lounge Suit.

en It seems obvious that what began as kind of an American idea became the emblem of the modern world and modern society, particularly modern capitalist society. It doesn't seem to have lost much of its energy.

en [The obvious questions concerning animosity between members have of course arisen. After all, both Gabriel and Collins left Genesis and found much green pastures in terms of commercial success, while the rest of Genesis fell between the cracks. But Collins is quick to squash any talk of negativity amongst them.] We're all still good friends. We spent like 30 or 25 years of our life in the same office, ... Just because we don't play in the same band anymore doesn't mean we don't see each other and enjoy each other's company.

en We wouldn't be here if it weren't for psychedelic drugs. In terms of the role of psilocybin in human evolution on the grasslands of Africa, people not on drugs were behind the curve. The fact is that, in terms of human evolution, people not on psychedelics are not fully human. They've fallen to a lower state, where they're easily programmed, boundary defined, obsessed by sexual possessiveness which is transferred into fetishism and object obsession. We don't want too many citizens asking where the power and the money really goes. Informed by psychedelics, people might stop saluting. "Take your political party, your job, whatever, and shove it."

en You have the need and the right to spend part of your life caring for your soul. It is not easy. You have to resist the demands of the work-oriented, often defensive, element in your psyche that measures life only in terms of output -- how much you produce -- not in terms of the quality of your life experiences. To be a soulful person means to go against all the pervasive, prove-yourself values of our culture and instead treasure what is unique and internal and valuable in yourself and your own personal evolution.

en It's so modern to be comfortable. It's so modern to wear something that's easy, that travels well, ... It's so modern ... to find new ways of dressing to replace the tailored suit. You'll see everything from mid-suits to mid-coats ... to long cashmere, big cashmere dresses.
  Calvin Klein

en Genesis will be as silent, as automatic for the users as we can make it. It's a natural evolution in security.

en Evolution is the most plausible explanation for life if you're using naturalistic terms, I'll agree with that.

en I think everyone is realizing that we need to be doing a great deal more. We just haven't made the effort to communicate evolution to people in terms they can understand. Evolution is exciting.

en My perspective on the teaching of evolution is that it should be taught as a theory in the context of a biology course that explains the beginnings and evolution of life. Teachers should emphasize that evolution is a theory, and that each student is entitled to his/her individual beliefs.

en All the ills from which America suffers can be traced back to the teaching of evolution. It would be better to destroy every other book ever written, and save just the first three verses of Genesis.
  William Jennings Bryan

en It's been a Mecca to modern jazz musicians. You can't talk about the development of this music without talking about the Velvet Lounge.

en A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness.

en When I'm working I have to move, I have to be quick. I can't pose in a suit. You know I have to work in a suit, therefore we have these fabrics or this new kind of workmanship into suits which is almost leisure wear. I can wear a T-shirt instead of a shirt with a tie to look modern and also acceptable.

en We are the two great painters of this era; you are in the Egyptian style, I in the modern style.

en These styles are fun. You can get a leopard-print chaise lounge or a Provincial-style bed in toile for that South of France look.
