More From William Gibson

When we talk about authoritarianism, we conjure up out-of-date visions from the 1930s. but we are no more likely to do authoritarian government the way they did in the 1930s then we're likely to address or talk or do any of our other business in the way they did it in the 1930s.
Government Vision Addresses
The humble, simple souls, who are little enough to see the bigness of god in the littleness of a babe, are therefore the only ones who will ever understand the reason of his visitation. he came to this poor earth of ours to carry on an exchange; to say to us, as only the good god could say: 'you give me your humanity, and i will give you my divinity; you give me your time, and i will give you my eternity; you give me your broken heart, and i will give you love; you give me your nothingness, and i will give you my all.
Love You Heart Humble
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual. when you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. to me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers.
Fashion Clothes Want
We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future, as if figuring it out will cushion the blow. but the future is always changing. the future is the home of our deepest fears and wildest hopes. but one thing is certain when it finally reveals itself. the future is never the way we imagined it.
Future Home Blow
Show me a man or a woman alone and i'll show you a saint. give me two and they'll fall in love. give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. give me four and they'll build a pyramid. give me five and they'll make one an outcast. give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. man may have been made in the image of god, but human society was made in the image of his opposite number, and is always trying to get back home.

I said that mrs obama has been extremely supportive of american designers, but clearly we were disappointed that she chose to wear a british designer for the state dinner...from there, i was so embarrassed that i am definitely going to write to her. she has been super supportive to american designers.

One day you will take me completely out of myself, i'll do what the angels cannot do. your eyelash will write on my cheek the poem that hasn't been thought of.
