Emergence - The Connected Lives of Ants

Famous quotes containing the words emergence, connected, lives and/or ants:

    Much more frequent in Hollywood than the emergence of Cinderella is her sudden vanishing. At our party, even in those glowing days, the clock was always striking twelve for someone at the height of greatness; and there was never a prince to fetch her back to the happy scene.
    Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

    We can’t nourish our children if we don’t nourish ourselves.... Parents who manage to stay married, sane, and connected to each other share one basic characteristic: The ability to protect even small amounts of time together no matter what else is going on in their lives.
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    Smokers, male and female, inject and excuse idleness in their lives every time they light a cigarette.
    Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)

    this ant-and stone-swallowing uninjurable
    artichoke which simpletons thought a living fable
    whom the stones had nourished, whereas ants had done
    so.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
