Nothing is as dangerous in architecture as dealing with separated problems. If we split life into separated problems we split the possibilities to make good building art.

A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Lyman Abbott, American Author (1835-1922)
We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium.
Ansel Adams, American Photographer (1902-1984)
I loved living and breathing theatre so much that I decided I had to find a way to bring my desire to act and my ability to support myself together. I'd run through the possibilities in Washington, so that meant moving to New York.

The cosmical importance of this conclusion is profound and the possibilities it opens for the future very remarkable, greater in fact than any suggested before by science in the whole history of the human race.
Francis William Aston, British Scientist (1877-1945)
As to judging our own time, and thereby gaining some basis for a judgment of future possibilities, we are doubtless not only too close to it to appraise it but too much formed by it and enclosed within it to do so.
Emily Greene Balch, American Educator (1867-1961)
Europe has what we do not have yet, a sense of the mysterious and inexorable limits of life, a sense, in a word, of tragedy. And we have what they sorely need: a sense of life's possibilities.

Iain Banks, Scottish Writer (1954-  )
I use Windows; '98 second edition and it works very good for me. You know, I just started on the computer about 9 months ago and am fascinated with the possibilities. I don't know what I would do without it now.
Jimmy Carl Black, American Musician (1938-  )
Performance art is the ultimate in creativity. Since it has so many possibilities at creativity, it's essence tends to become creativity.
Jack Bowman, English Actor
The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the buts you use today.
Les Brown, American Businessman
It takes someone with a vision of the possibilities to attain new levels of experience. Someone with the courage to live his dreams.
Les Brown, American Businessman
To believe only possibilities is not faith, but mere philosophy.
Thomas Browne, British Scientist (1605-1682)
I have made a film about jazz that tries to look through jazz to see what it tells us about who we are as a people. I think that jazz is a spectacularly accurate model of democracy and a kind of look into our redemptive future possibilities.
Ken Burns, American Director (1953-  )
No, I think the future of humanity will be like the past, we'll do what we've always done and there will still be human beings. Granted, there will always be people doing something different and there are a lot of possibilities.
Octavia Butler, American Writer (1947-2006)
We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do.
Dale Carnegie, American Writer (1888-1955)
There are many spokes on the wheel of life. First, we're here to explore new possibilities.
Ray Charles, American Musician (1918-2004)
You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.
Deepak Chopra, American Philosopher (1946-  )
But, in the name of the experimental method and out of our poor knowledge, are we really entitled to claim that everything happens by chance, to the exclusion of all other possibilities?
