I would like to design what people generally call streetwear. I'd like to dress skateboarders, or whatever the older equivalent of skateboarders are. I pay more attention to that stuff than anyone would ever imagine because I'm watching what the designers do.

Surfaces reveal so much. The marks painters make reveal so much about their work and themselves their sense of proportion, line, and rhythm is more telling than their signature. Looking at the surfaces of nature may offer equivalent revelations. What do these shapes and patterns reveal about the world and their creator? Surfaces hide so much.
John Paul Caponigro
Image
It is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.

Robert S. Mendelsohn
Image
Facebook, from what I can tell, is the virtual equivalent of dropping into the homes of several million people, all of whom say at the same time: 'Hey! Let's set up the slide projector!
Linwood Barclay
Image
It is useless to read Greek in translation translators can but offer us a vague equivalent.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Junkies find veins in their toes when the veins in their arms collapse. Developing tars sands is the equivalent.
Al Gore
Image
The way to bring gas prices down is to end our dependence on oil and use the renewable sources that can give us the equivalent of $1 per gallon gasoline.
Al Gore

But then people don't read literature in order to understand they read it because they want to re-live the feelings and sensations which they found exciting in the past. Art can be a lot of things but in actual practice, most of it is merely the mental equivalent of alcohol and cantharides.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The choreographic process is exhausting. It happens on one's feet after hours of work, and the energy required is roughly the equivalent of writing a novel and winning a tennis match simultaneously.
Agnes de Mille
Image
There can never be two or more equivalent electrons in an atom, for which in a strong field the values of all the quantum numbers n, k1, k2 and m are the same. If an electron is present, for which these quantum numbers (in an external field) have definite values, then this state is 'occupied.'
Wolfgang Pauli

I always think back to the original movies and to those quieter moments where Luke is out in A New Hope, and there are the two suns setting.

Adam Driver
Image

Walt Disney
Image
I say at our management conferences that the amount Wal-Mart grows in just one year is the equivalent of Costco's size.
James Sinegal
Image
But all of this action goes on in the dark, hidden underground. It’s called stealing or piracy, as if sharing a wealth of knowledge were the moral equivalent of plundering a ship and murdering its crew. But sharing isn’t immoral - it’s a moral imperative. Only those blinded by greed would refuse to let a friend make a copy.
Aaron Swartz
Image
My immune system has always been overly welcoming of germs. It's far too polite, the biological equivalent of a southern hostess inviting y'all nice microbes to stay awhile and have some artichoke dip.
A. J. Jacobs
Image
I demand riches in definite terms I have a definite plan for acquiring richesI am engaged in carrying out my plan, and I am giving an equivalent,in useful service, of the value of those riches I demand.
