My favorite quotes
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

CFP - Re-Visualising Writing: Page, Canvas, Screen
Centre for Cultural Poetics,
University of Southampton Re-Visualising Writing: Page, Canvas, Screen One Day Conference,
June 10th 2005
This conference will address the relationship between writing and visual culture. It is particularly interested in exploring how technology continues to shape our understanding of the visual, spatial, experimental, and iconic properties of writing.
Questions to be addressed can include:
- How have the visual properties of books, printing, painting, and computing influenced the development of writing practice and its theory?
- How have technological advances encouraged art forms to combine word and image in new ways?
- What opportunities for re-examining the visual properties of writing does new technology offer?
- What new forms of social practice (reading, community formation, textual dissemination) does an attention to the visual suggest?
Forms to be addressed can include:
- Electronic and digital culture (eg: Digital Poetics, Hypertext, Programmable Media, Blogs, E-poetry)
- Textual Experimentation (eg: Visual and Concrete Poetry, Modernism and Postmodernism, Procedural or Aleatory Poetics)
- Emerging or established 'hybrid' genres (eg: the artist's book, the performed poem, the illustrated page)
- Collaboration (eg: between visual artists, writers, interactive media specialists)
Deadline for submission of abstracts (300 words) is March 31st.
Please send to Nicky Marsh at English, School of Humanities, University of Southampton, SO17 1BJ or nm8@soton.ac.uk
