Oleg DeripaskaWe walked on the beach, fed blue corn ships to the seagulls, and munched on blue jelly beans, blue saltwater taffy and all the other free samples my mom brought home from work.

There is an illumination the outsider brings to a place or a situation that cannot be duplicated.
Anjan SundaramIf agricultural land be left uncultivated, in a few years the jungle returns, and signs are not lacking that a similar danger is always lying in wait for the fields of thought, which, by the labour of three hundred years, have been cleared and brought into cultivation by men of science.

That daring megalomania of his-has it not brought him to his present place?
