INSPIRING WORDS
The artist and the businessman should cultivate every opportunity to teach and supplement one another, to cooperate with one
another, just as the nations of the world must do. Only in such a fusion of talents, abilities, and philosophies can there be
even a modest hope for the future, a partial alleviation of the chaos and misunderstandings of today.
- Walter Paepcke, "quoted in Barry Hoffman's "The Fine Art of Advertising" (New York: Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2002)"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why,
when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world; when a speck of dust falls to the ground, the entire plant weights
a little more; and when you stamp your foot, the earth moves slightly off it's course. Whenever you laugh, gladness spreads like the
ripples in a pond; and whenever you're sad, no one anywhere can be really happy. And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for
whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer."
- Norton Juster, "The Phantom Tollbooth"
