[I was advised] to read Jordan's 'Cours d'analyse'; and I shall never forget the astonishment with which I read that remarkable work, the first inspiration for so many mathematicians of my generation, and learnt for the first time as I read it what m...
It frustrates and fascinates me that we'll never know for sure, that despite the best efforts of historians and scientists and poets, there are some things we'll just never know. What the first song sounded like. How it felt to see the first photogra...

We have entered a time when a writer's first idea is his best idea, when the first thing a reporter hears is the first thing that she reports. We live in a time now when we have seen major television networks take video off of YouTube and broadcast i...
The first Parikrma school started in a slum where there were 70,000 people living below the poverty line. Our first school was on a rooftop of a building inside the slums, a second story building, the only second story building inside the slums. And ...
We had some really powerful technology - Atari always was a technology-driven company, and we were very keen on keeping the technological edge on everything. There's a whole bunch of things that we innovated. We made the first computer that did stamp...

[Riker, LaForge and Cochrane have made humanity's first warp speed test flight] Dr. Zefram Cochrane: Is that Earth? Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge: That's it! Dr. Zefram Cochrane: It's so small... Cmdr. William Riker: It's about to get a whole ...
The first fashion show I ever attended was for Ritu Beri in 1997 or 1998. I think that was the first time Ritu had designed for one of my movies 'Yeh Raastein Hain Pyaar Ke.' She had done a show in Paris, and she had done the same show in Delhi. It w...
It's okay to be afraid, it means you have something to live for.
You are a woman, let them see your fire
What is false about hope?
Does trust have to be earned. Or is it simply a matter of faith?
For the first time in my life I was admitting defeat.
