And in a world without heroes as the movie trailer voice-over guy might say the slightly awkward can be slightly cool.
I haven't left the house without a packet of Kleenex in my back pocket for as long as I can remember. Whenever I start thinking I'm incredibly cool the packet of Kleenex in my back pocket brings me right back down to earth.
I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank baby.
My friends are people who like building cool stuff. We always have this joke about people who want to just start companies without making something valuable. There's a lot of that in Silicon Valley.
Reading computer manuals without the hardware is as frustrating as reading manuals without the software.
It frequently happens that two persons reasoning right on a mechanical subject think alike and invent the same thing without any communication with each other.
Mental communication without verbalization... all space is made up of waves and we are constantly sending and receiving messages from our brain.
Without television and mass communication that knowledge wouldn't exist. So I think it actually has the possibility of turning people into more understanding and more empathetic people.
It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection.
Music and politics are in essence about communication. Without over-stretching the analogy I do feel a sense of rhythm is important in getting your message across.
What does music mean to me? I don't think I would really be much without it without it coming through me. It's my means of communication my means of growth my means of transportation from one point in my life to another.
Without a possibility of change in meanings human communication could not perform its present functions.
Mass communication radio and especially television have attempted not without success to annihilate every possibility of solitude and reflection.
No pleasure has any savor for me without communication.
Most of what needs to be changed in the euro zone can be done without treaty changes. The demand for treaty change is as political as it is legal and I don't think it's going to happen soon.
As far as friendships go things change even without the fame. People start moving on. I have a few friends that are married and are starting to have kids and I'm like 'Oh my goodness gracious - that's so insane.' I also have friends who are just doing their own thing which is cool.
Imagine if the pension funds and endowments that own much of the equity in our financial services companies demanded that those companies revisit the way mortgages were marketed to those without adequate skills to understand the products they were being sold. Management would have to change the way things were done.
