• I am totally against plastic surgery. A lot of people think I have breast implants because I have the biggest boobs in the business.

• You sleep with a dream of summer weather,
  wake to the thrum of rain—roped down by rain.
  Nothing out there but drop-heavy feathers of grass
  and rainy air. The plastic table on the terrace
  has shed three legs on its way to the garden fence.
  The mountains have had the sense to disappear.
  It's the Celtic temperament—wind, then torrents, then remorse.
  Glory rising like a curtain over distant water.
  Old stonehouse, having steered us through the dark,
  docks in a pool of shadow all its own.
  That widening crack in the gloom is like good luck.
  Luck, which neither you nor tomorrow can depend on.

• Assault weapons—just like armor-piercing bullets, machine guns, and plastic firearms—are a new topic. The weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons. In addition, few people can envision a practical use for these weapons.

• The defining character of Steve Jobs isn't his genius, it isn't his talent, it isn't his success. It's his love. That's why crowds came to see him. You could feel that. It sounds ridiculous to talk about love when you are making a gadget. But Steve loved his work, he loved the products he produced, and it was palpable. He communicated that love through bits of steel and plastic.

• For some people, history is simply what your wife looks good standing in front of. It’s what’s cast in bronze, or framed in sepia tones, or acted out with wax dummies and period furniture. It takes place in glass bubbles filled with water and chunks of plastic snow; it’s stamped on souvenir pencils and summarized in reprint newspapers. History nowadays is recorded in memorabilia. If you can’t purchase a shopping bag that alludes to something, people won’t believe it ever happened.
