Museums and art stores are also sources of pleasure and inspiration. Doubtless it will seem strange to many that the hand unaided by sight can feel action, sentiment, beauty in the cold marble; and yet it is true that I derive genuine pleasure from touching great works of art.

Pure centrifugal force. You can see yourself hurtling ass end over teakettle into oblivion.

I have been photographing our toilet, that glossy enameled receptacle of extraordinary beauty. Here was every sensuous curve of the human figure divine but minus the imperfections. Never did the Greeks reach a more significant consummation to their culture, and it somehow reminded me, in the glory of its chaste convulsions and in its swelling, sweeping, forward movement of finely progressing contours, of the Victory of Samothrace.

Don't tell me about the world. Not today. It's springtime and they're knocking baseball around fields where the grass is damp and green in the morning and the kids are trying to hit the curve ball.

If you force the trail to emerge and turn with your every command, then most likely it will only become what you imagined. If you just enjoy the anticipation of each new curve and seize it as it comes, the road around the bend might lead to the unimaginable.

My life is one long curve, full of turning points.

We're at a time now where the rules keep getting rewritten. It's a constant learning curve.

Folks are being intellectually lazy. As publishers, we're as guilty as anyone else in not taking the technology to the next level. We're really in the early stages of the maturity curve and there's more to come here.

It's only a learning curve for a lot of them as this is their first trip.
