With all the abundance we have of computers and computing, what is scarce is human attention and time.
Wealth is the means and people are the ends.
True architecture exists only where man stands in the center.
The ABC of our profession is to avoid these large abstract terms in order to try to discover behind them the only concrete realities, which are human beings.
I'm into humanity. I don't believe in God, but I believe in human beings.
Religion is only the illusory sun which revolves round man as long as he does not revolve round himself.
Design is people.
For three hundred years we have had our focus on the individual. We have distinguished him from the objective world as the Middle Ages did not think of doing. We have given him the world and the universe as a playground for exploration and discovery.
Art doesn't interest me. Only artists interest me.
It was not for societies or states, that Christ died, but for men.
Often people, especially computer engineers, focus on the machines. But in fact we need to focus on humans, on how humans care about doing programming or operating the application of the machines.
It's very dangerous for a storyteller to walk into a situation with a political agenda because you end up telling a story about issues instead of telling a story about people.
We are experiencing new problems every day and whatever we do adds to the richness of our cultural heritage as long as it has man as its centre
As a child I was not interested in science. I was merely interested in things human, the human side of nature, if you like, and I continue to be interested in that. That's what motivates me.
At the core of the products we build, I want to think about productivity centered around people.

We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society.
We are human, and nothing is more interesting to us than humanity. The appeal of literature is that it is so thoroughly a human thing — by, for and about human beings. If you lose that focus, you obviate the source of the power and permanence of literature.

We are constantly straining to devise new methods, new plans, new organizations to advance the Church and secure enlargement and efficiency for the gospel. This trend of the day has a tendency to lose sight of the man or sink the man in the plan or organization. God's plan is to make much of the man, far more of him than of anything else. Men are God's method. The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men.

As a writer, I've always believed that while my work and I myself are embedded in whatever period I am writing about, clearly I am sensitive to the winds that are blowing in the culture.

The general problem begins to resolve itself even before the play is finished.
