“ Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience. ”

“ Ideas become powerful only if they appear in the flesh; an idea which does not lead to action by the individual and by groups remains at best a paragraph or a footnote in a book — provided the idea is original and relevant. It is like a seed stored in a dry place… ”

“ Without aesthetic, design is either the humdrum repetition of familiar cliches or a wild scramble for novelty. Without the aesthetic, the computer is but a mindless speed machine, producing effects without substance. Form without relevant content, or content without meaningful form. ”

“ I truly have a right to think I'm a survivor at this point. I mean, my goodness, I cut my first hit record in 1963 for God's sake. I also think that 9/11 brought everything on the album into focus, even though the album was finished before 9/11. My songwriting about how valuable husbands and wives and children are, and families and friends, is all very relevant and it was all just brought into sharp focus. ”

“ We started playing our first gigs right about the time Kurt Cobain died, and we were playing punk clubs. That's why we were relevant. It was basically acoustic piano with a grunge rhythm section… If we'd sucked, we'd have been relegated to high-art, indie music that would've been well-reviewed… ”

“ The fathers of the field had been pretty confusing: John von Neumann speculated about computers and the human brain in analogies sufficiently wild to be worthy of a medieval thinker, and Alan Turing thought about criteria to settle the question of whether machines can think, a question of which we now know that it is about as relevant as the question of whether submarines can swim. ”

“ One cannot be a good historian of the outward, visible world without giving some thought to the hidden, private life of ordinary people; and on the other hand one cannot be a good historian of this inner life without taking into account outward events where these are relevant… ”

“ Increasingly in recent times we have come first to identify the remedy that is most agreeable, most convenient, most in accord with major pecuniary or political interest, the one that reflects our available faculty for action; then we move from the remedy so available or desired back to a cause to which that remedy is relevant. ”

“ Don't give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can't express them. Don't analyze yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak. ”
