Alain de Botton

Albert Einstein
Image
The widest thing in the universe is not space it is the potential capacity of the human heart. Being made in the image of God, it is capable of almost unlimited extension in all directions. And one of the world's greatest tragedies is that we allow our hearts to shrink until there is room in them for little besides ourselves.

Image
I like being old, even if the names I hear are more and more unfamiliar. Maybe, to paraphrase Goethe who said that, Youth is wasted on the young, we should add that Age can be wasted on the aged, unless one's capacity to wonder increases.

Architectural and product designs have a narrative capacity - you can start to tell a story about them and imagine a lot of things.
Michael Graves
Image
Everything great that has ever happened to humanity has begun as a single thought in someone's mind, and if anyone of us is capable of such a thought, then all of us has the same capacity, capability, because we're all the same.
Yanni
Image
Overfishing is an obvious threat to our capacity to feed ourselves.
Tim Winton
Image
I'm not a plumber who accidentally blew up or a math professor who accidentally backed into notoriety. I have a master's from Yale drama, and I auditioned for this. So obviously I want to be in the limelight in some capacity, or I want to be in entertainment in some capacity.
