Gibson Designs

Famous quotes containing the words gibson and/or designs:

    He seemed to be of no particular race, or, in certain lights, to belong to some race that nobody else belonged to.
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)

    I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
