Certainly, anyone whom I've witnessed, who has gone through something horrible and life-changing, has a sense of ironic humor, or an ability to look at the peculiarities of the world and find humor in it.
Humor is rare in science fiction... there's so little of it that it automatically reminds you of other heroes with that acerbic humor when you find it.
I don't plan ahead; each book finds me. History itself, the resonance of the past with the present, is the common denominator in all of them.
If we look to the history of other nations, ancient or modern, we find no example of a growth so rapid, so gigantic, of a people so prosperous and happy.
I tend to like to read history - recent history, because I find that much more intriguing than just a writer's imagination.
My whole artistic life has always been about change, change, change, move on, move on. It's the only thing I find interesting.
Hopefully I'm a role model for positive change for everyone - not just women. It's very important to find balance between men and women.
Computers can bully us. A slow and unreliable system will bring even the toughest soul to their knees as they find themselves completely defenseless against the erratic whims of their rogue machine.
You never want to concede a place, but when you're leading the race or fighting for a podium position, you can find ways to make your car very wide!
You can find out anything you want about a car now, and especially every bit of information about the price, without relying on the dealers.
In 1934, the American Jewish charities offered to find homes for 300 German refugee children. We were on the SS Washington, bound for New York, Christmas 1934.
I'm a father. It isn't just my life any more. I don't want my kid finding bottles in the house or seeing his father completely smashed.
I could not tell you the date of my mother's death. I could not tell you the date of my dad's death. These are not dates that I find significant.
When death is imminent and dying patients find their suffering unbearable, then the physician's role should shift from healing to relieving suffering in accord with the patient's wishes.
One of the things I find extremely challenging about the continent of Africa is that when the immediate needs and the social needs of people are not met, that kills dreams, and it's all about survival.
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
I studied to be an architect. And I find tremendous similarities between building a company and the design process. Businesses have to do their planning on the fly in a fashion similar to an architect sketching.
Liberals, conservatives, Muslims, Jews, Christians, and I find - I think education is something that can bring us together.
I've been an entrepreneur all my life, and my recent focus is on finding entrepreneurial solutions to address global challenges in healthcare and education.
I find the parallels between how some investors refuse to recognise the trends and our reaction to some of our environmental challenges very powerful. There is an unwillingness to process unpleasant data.
I find it interesting that many of the people who want to restrict fossil fuels live in well-developed countries where abundant and affordable energy is readily available.
