Materials Quotes

“Trust is not a gasoline-soaked blanket that succumbs to the matches of betrayal, never able to be used for its warmth again; it’s a tapestry that wears thin in places, but can be patched over if you have the right materials, circumstances, and patience to repair it. If you don’t, you’re always the one who feels the coldest when winter comes.”
― A.J. Darkholme, Rise of the Morningstar

“Sell your materials but save your morals.”

“Since 1963, LEGO bricks have been manufactured from acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer - ABS copolymer for short - a plastic with a matte finish. It is very hard and robust - import criteria for a children's toy. Laboratories in Switzerland and Denmark regularly test the quality of the ABS. The plastic is distributed to factories as granules rather than in liquid form. These grains of plastic are heated up to 232ºC and converted into a molten mass. Injection moulding machines weighing up to 150 tonnes squeeze the viscous plastic mass into the desired injection moulds - of which there are 2,400 varieties. After seven seconds, the brick produced in this way has cooled down enough to be removed from the mould. The injection moulding method is so precise that out of every million elements produced, only about 18 units have to be rejected. Unsold bricks are converted back into granulates and recycled.”

“The bank wanted me to sell those customers that debt, because the system needs you to buy that new car, that holiday to Barbados, that latest iPhone or that new extension you’ve always been dreaming off. The banks are happy to let you do it with their high interest credit products, and they want me to be the guy that sells the idea to you. I was serving the machine that was enslaving me.”

― Riku H. Petro

“Like-dislike, good-bad, profit-loss; who gave rise to all these dualities? The society did. As far as God is concerned, there is no duality. If there are grains of food on one side and excrement on the other, in God’s eyes, they are both “material (matter)”. What does God say about this? “All are materials!”
― Dada Bhagwan

“Writers tend to be fetishistic about our materials, and I am no exception. Spiral-bound, perfect bound, lined, unlined, pocket-size - as if the notebook itself might make a difference. Instead, I ended up buying a package of index cards, understanding something I couldn't have articulated: my life was no in fragments I would need to shuffle and reshuffle in any attempt to make sense of it.”
― Dani Shapiro, Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love

“Leaders, by nature, oversee end-to-end transformation—turning raw thought and raw material into rare outcomes.”
― RICHIE NORTON
