Utility is when you have one telephone, luxury is when you have two, opulence is when you have three - and paradise is when you have none.

Utilities fall in love with their assets, and that's a danger we need to avoid.

Electricity is of two kinds, positive and negative. The difference is, I presume, that one comes a little more expensive, but is more durable; the other is a cheaper thing, but the moths get into it.

Beauty is that which is simultaneously attractive and sublime.

Nothing can have value without being an object of utility.

There's a difference between beauty and charm. A beautiful woman is one I notice. A charming woman is one who notices me.

Grandeur and beauty are so very opposite, that you often diminish the one as you increase the other. Variety is most akin to the latter, simplicity to the former.

The utility model of computing - computing resources delivered over the network in much the same way that electricity or telephone service reaches our homes and offices today - makes more sense than ever.

Do not confuse beauty with beautiful. Beautiful is a human judgment. Beauty is All. The difference is everything.

Do you know the difference between a beautiful woman and a charming one? A beauty is a woman you notice, a charmer is one who notices you.
