Her brother's smart, he's got more sense than many,
His patience long, but soon he won't have any,
To find a job is like a haystack needle,
'Cause where he lives, they don't use coloured people,
Living just enough, just enough for the city.

Living For The CityStevie Wonder

He who must search a haystack for a needle is likely to end up with the attitude that the needle is not worth the search.
Robert H. Jackson
If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. ... I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety percent of his labor.
Thomas Alva Edison
If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. ... I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.
Nikola Tesla
Every day I see or hear something that more or less kills me with delight, that leaves me like a needle in the haystack of light.
Mary Oliver
“I have this theory about smart people. If you’re smart, you’re either the only person in your family who’s smart, or everybody in the family is smart. No in-between.”
I considered this. “I think I come from the everybody’s smart category. But they don’t apply their smarts to… larger picture pursuits. That includes me.”Douglas Coupland
