Richard Dooling
“Why can't you summon a command line and search your real-world home for 'Honda car keys,' and specify rooms in your house to search instead of folders or paths in your computer's home directory? It's a crippling design flaw in the real-world interface.”
― Richard Dooling, Rapture for the Geeks: When AI Outsmarts IQ

Sebastian Smee
“All great paintings have an aura, which derives, in part, from their singularity.”
― Sebastian Smee, The Art of Rivalry: Four Friendships, Betrayals, and Breakthroughs in Modern Art
