David Foster Wallace

Steve Jobs thus became the greatest business executive of our era, the one most certain to be remembered a century from now. History will place him in the pantheon right next to Edison and Ford. More than anyone else of this time, he made products that were completely innovative, combining the power of poetry and processors. With a ferocity that could make working with him as unsettling as it was inspiring, he also built the world's most creative company. And he was able to infuse into its... Walter Isaacson
The web of time - the strands of which approach one another, bifurcate, intersect, or ignore each other through the centuries - embraces "every" possibility. We do not exist in most of them.

There must be some other possibility than death or lifelong penance ... some meeting, some intersection of lines; and some cowardly, hopeful geometer in my brain tells me it is the angle at which two lines prop each other up, the leaning-together from the vertical which produces the false arch. For lack of a keystone, the false arch may be as much as one can expect in this life. Only the very lucky discover the keystone. Wallace Stegner
In the end, each life is no more than the sum of contingent facts, a chronicle of chance intersections, of ukes, of random events that divulge nothing but their own lack of purpose. Paul Auster
The illusion of the seventh veil was the illusion that you could get somebody else to do it for you. To think for you. To hang on your cross. The priest, the rabbi, the imam, the swami, the philosophical novelist were traffic cops, at best. They might direct you through a busy intersection, but they wouldn't follow you home and park your car. Tom Robbins
There is a theory that if you yearn sincerely enough for a Guru, you will find one. The universe will shift, destiny's molecules will get themselves organized and your path will soon intersect with the path of the master you need. Elizabeth Gilbert
Pastoral theology and care helps people look deeper at the intersection between their inherited religious traditions and their current life situations. Larry Graham
Todd Gitlin quote: "Mills insisted that a sociologist's proper subject was the..."
Mills insisted that a sociologist's proper subject was the intersection of biography and history. Todd Gitlin
Katherine Dunn quote: "Every doorway, every intersection has a story."
Every doorway, every intersection has a story. Katherine Dunn
It's a very, very difficult space to operate in, the restaurant business-it requires a lot of human beings to intersect at just the right place to make it all work out. Rocco DiSpirito
If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time. Octavio Paz
Herman Hesse quote: "One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect..."
One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time. Herman Hesse
