"No one on da corner has swagga like us!!!" February 10, 2012, Twitter

I like my style to be colorful, with alot of patterns as well. The style sorta rubbed off from M.I.A. so it's like my style sometimes incorporated with hers. Me and M.I.A.'s relationship is funny. It's sorta like she's a parent one minute, then a sister, then a best friend. I mean, I feel like I bring the kid outta her. When I was on tour with her, we'd always do fun stuff together, or I would keep her laughing, it just felt like a childish moment, that spirit. It's a best friend type of thing. December 2011

She's always kind of M.I.A. She's this really blunt, charismatic person all the time. If you take her someplace, she'll probably say something to make you embarrassed. She's always on. If we go out to the store -- she lives around the corner from me -- or if we go to the gym, it's like, I put on the crackhead outfit and she puts on, like... the works." "You know what I mean? I find that inspiring! She's genuinely one of the most stylish people I've ever met."

Derek Miller: "She was one of our first fans," he says, "and she was and still is one of my favourite MCs. So that blew my mind. I read the email three times and was shaking a little, because something like that changes the direction of your life. It was an intense moment and I'm forever grateful to her for that."

Alexis Kraus: "It's really exciting to have her in our court and be able to work with her. At this point it's more about being part of a creative community and the day-to-day running of the business is pretty much Mom + Pop's job. It's the fact that she had interest in us literally before anyone else cared at all which definitely boosted our confidence."

"Sir Isaac Newton, renowned inventor of the milled-edge coin and the catflap!"
"The what?" said Richard.
"The catflap! A device of the utmost cunning, perspicuity and invention. It is a door within a door, you see, a ..."
"Yes," said Richard, "there was also the small matter of gravity."
"Gravity," said Dirk with a slightly dismissed shrug, "yes, there was that as well, I suppose. Though that, of course, was merely a discovery. It was there to be discovered." ...

He said "I'll punch your head!" I said "Whose?" He said "Yours!"
I said "Mine?" He said "Yes!" I said "Oh?"
He said "Want a fight?" I said "Who?" He said "You!"
I said "Me?" He said "Yes!" I said "No!"
So we then came to words, he said "You're a cad!"
I said "Cad?" He said "Yes!" I said "Who?"
He said "Who?" I said "Yes." He said "You!" I said "Oh!"
So of course then I knew.

The Pythagoreans called the monad "intellect" because they thought that intellect was akin to the One; for among the virtues, they likened the monad to moral wisdom; for what is correct is one.

"Uh, No!" "What if I told you to get the crap standing up in the woods?" "I still wouldn't wanna go." "You'll wake up freezing covered in a rash." "... All right, I'll go."

"You have a strange way about you, Dr. Grumman. You ever spend any time among the witches?"
"Yes," said Grumman. "And among academicians, and among spirits. I found folly everywhere, but there were grains of wisdom in every stream of it. No doubt there was much more wisdom that I failed to recognize. Life is hard, Mr. Scoresby, but we cling to it all the same."
"And this journey we're on? Is that folly or wisdom?"
"The greatest wisdom I know."
"Tell me again what your purpose is. You're going to find the bearer of this subtle knife, and what then?"
"Tell him what his task is."
"And that's a task that includes protecting Lyra," the aeronaut reminded him.
"It will protect all of us."
